Godoy Cruz vs Dep. Riestra Prediction & Betting Tips (19 August)

A return of just one point from the last 27 available serves to emphasise just how poor Dep. Riestra have been on the road of late, with 23 goals conceded across this miserable run of fixtures. The story has been a very different one as far as Godoy Cruz are concerned on their own patch recently, with 16 wins from 19 matches at the top table of the Liga Profesional.

High-flying Godoy Cruz don’t tend to be involved in too many thrillers, with 15 of their previous 20 home matches in the Liga Profesional serving up under 2.5 goals. This is a state of affairs that Dep. Riestra have become familiar with in recent away games, as six of their last nine top-flight trips have also fallen into this same low-scoring category.

Over the course of their previous 18 matches at this elite level of the Liga Profesional, Godoy Cruz have been involved in no fewer than 14 contests in which at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet. This has also been the case in 16 of the last 19 Dep. Riestra away games in the top-flight, so don’t expect the net to bulge at both ends in this encounter.
