Week 16 brings us a match on Aug 27th where Godoy Cruz and Newell’s Old Boys will play a match in Rosario in a meeting of these two mismatched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Newell’s Old Boys is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Huracán. Matías Cóccaro Ferreira struck first for Huracán in the 72nd minute from the penalty spot, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Newell’s Old Boys couldn’t manage to score, and Huracán took the shutout win. Newell’s Old Boys looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches, while godoy Cruz is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Independiente. Juan Manuel Insaurralde struck first for Independiente in the 42nd minute, then Tadeo Allende got the equalizer for Godoy Cruz in the 56th minute on a feed from Abrego squeezing out at least the one point for Godoy Cruz. Godoy Cruz should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 draw each.
For Godoy Cruz, their top scorers are Ederson Rodríguez Lima and Tadeo Allende, each having 2 goals in their last 5 matches. Pablo Pérez and Balzi are the top scorers for Newell’s Old Boys in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
