Week 4 brings us a match on Feb 18th where Godoy Cruz hosts Estudiantes at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 26 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Godoy Cruz is fresh off their 0-1 loss against San Lorenzo. Adam Bareiro scored the first goal for San Lorenzo in the 55th minute from the penalty spot, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Godoy Cruz was frustrated by San Lorenzo’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. San Lorenzo ended the match with the shutout victory. Godoy Cruz is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while estudiantes sits at 24th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-2 loss against Lanús. Joseph Canale struck first for Lanús in the 45th minute on a feed from Cristian Lema, then Franco Troyansky added another in the 89th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Estudiantes couldn’t manage to score, and Lanús took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Estudiantes won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Estudiantes’s top weapon lately has been Mauro Boselli, who has 3 goals in the last 5 matches. has been the most prolific scorer on Godoy Cruz in the last 5 matches with 2 goals.
