River Plate take on the visitors Godoy Cruz in the round 7 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Monday, July 11th at Estadio Antonio Vespucio Liberti (Buenos Aires)
River Plate mostly disappoint their fans recently. The Millonarios have become national champions in 2021. It is worth adding "finally" - after all, the previous similar title in the Liga dates back to 2014. Yes, with Marcelo Gallardo there have been many successes over these seasons, which are worth 2 wins in the Cope Libertadores. But still, the “gold” pleased all the fans. It’s just that it’s impossible to develop successes in the new year. In the Copa Diego Maradona, after good results in the group round, there was a relegation in the playoffs. In the "regular" championship, the favorite started the defense of the title with just 2 wins and 8 points in the first 6 rounds. At the same time, in the 1/8 finals of the Copa Libertadores with Vélez Sarsfield in 180 minutes, the only goal was scored by the opponent.

Godoy Cruz show mediocre results so far. "El Expreso" is generally not among the top teams in Argentina - especially when compared to their next opponent. This is shown by the results of recent years. In the 2021 Liga Profesional the club took a place in the bottom half of the table - 17th. The team did not add even after the holidays. In the Copa Diego the Maradona they gained only 16 points in 14 matches - not a failure, but frankly weak result. And within the framework of the new Liga, it is noticeable how much Godoy Cruz depends on the venue of the fight. At home, it turned out to win against all opponents - Racing, Defense and Justicia, Colon. At the same time, Platense and Rosario Central defeated Godoy Cruz on the road, and only on the field of Atletico Tucuman managed to snatch a draw, leveling the score in the 74th minute. As a result, with 10 points it turns out to share the 5th place, however, there is a whole group of ambitious teams right behind them.
River Plate had a strong run: 7 wins and a draw in 8 head-to-heads. But in August last year, Godoy Cruz took 2-1 home win against a grand. River Plate is not in the best conditions right now. And this provides the visitors with some chances. We bet on Godoy Cruz with a handicap of "+1.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Godoy Cruz to win with +1.5 handicap.
