In this week 14 match, on Tuesday Aug 16th, Sarmiento hosts Godoy Cruz in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, 15th placed Sarmiento, recorded a 1-4 loss against Huracán. Franco Cristaldo struck first for Huracán in the 5th minute, but Jonathan Torres got the equalizer for Sarmiento in the 27th minute. Sarmiento is looking for direction having 4 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches, while 4th placed Godoy Cruz is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Aldosivi. Ederson Rodríguez Lima scored the first goal for Godoy Cruz in the 14th minute, then Tadeo Allende added another in the 86th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Aldosivi couldn’t manage to score, and Godoy Cruz took the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Godoy Cruz should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 draw each.
E. Larrosa MArtínez and Pier Barrios are the top scorers for Godoy Cruz in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Lisandro López has been the most prolific scorer on Sarmiento in the last five matches with 3 goals.
