Why Bet on Godoy Cruz?
Godoy Cruz is going through a horrible season, with the three points they achieved in draws being deducted due to the violent events from May 25th. The team has no wins yet and is tied at the bottom of the board with 0 points after five matches.
The Tomba is looking for its first victory this season, and River Plate’s instability gives them some hope. The Millonario has slipped as a visitor against, on paper, worst rivals before.
However, it’s an issue that the team is far from being solid in any aspect. With six goals against their defense is not so bad, but only two goals in favor make them the worst of Primera Argentina in this regard.
Why Bet on the River Plate?
River Plate comes as a visitor with three wins, one draw, and two losses, which has them in the 7th spot, tied on points with Gimnasia and Independiente Rivadavia. They have been going through ups and downs, landing their wins in the early games.
However, as stated before, as visitors they have got some shocking results, as their defeat against Deportivo Riestra in a ground with a capacity for a few hundred spectators. They also lost in the Copa Argentina against Temperley from the Primera Nacional.
Counting Miguel Borja and Facundo Colidio, they have some of the best strikers in Primera Argentina, but, need to build on consistency and solidity before fighting for the top of the table. Let’s remember that they are the defending Champions from the round-robin phase.
Final Betting Analysis: Godoy Cruz vs. River Plate
The sanction and poor level of Godoy is a bad omen for their future, as the excellent team that managed to lead Group B from the Copa de la Liga is nowhere to be found.
Either way, the deducted points would have only allowed them to get one spot ahead on the board, so it’s not like their situation would improve too much.
On the other hand, this may be the perfect chance for River to leave behind their confidence issues while playing as visitors. Independently from the Tomba’s level, it is a risky bet, but we believe that the Millonario will emerge on top. Go for a 1-2.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 1.96. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $96 for a total payout of $196.
