Godoy Cruz Preview
El Tomba owned the match that marked its debut in the Professional League from start to finish. It was only a 1-0 victory against Barracas Central playing as the visiting team, but a bigger difference would have been fairer.
Gonzalo Abrego was the team’s scorer of the afternoon, in a match in which the team coached by Diego El Traductor Flores did not allow any dangerous advances from the local team, and at the same time reached the opponent’s goal with forcefulness.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Diego Rodríguez; Pier Barrios, Gianluca Ferrari and Federico Rasmussen; Ismael Arce, Juan Andrada, Gonzalo Abrego and Thomas Galdames; Roberto Fernández, Tadeo Allende and Tomás Conechny.
Colón Preview
Colon did not get off to a good start in the 2023 First Division. The team lost 1-2 at home against Lanús, and its coach, Marcelo Saralegui, is thinking of making several changes based on what was seen last week.
The two wingers, Joaquín Ibáñez and Juan Pablo Álvarez, will leave the team, while Ramón Ábila could lose his place up front. Despite completing the match, he was not in his best physical shape. So, he would be replaced by Jorge Benítez, while the team also awaits to get to know the evolution of the injury suffered by youth player Laureano Troncoso.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Ignacio Chicco; Eric Meza, Facundo Garcés, Paolo Goltz and Rafael Delgado; Tomás Galván, Baldomero Perlaza, Cristian Vega, and Santiago Pierotti; Pablo Neris and Jorge Benítez.
JefeBet Prediction
The history between Godoy Cruz vs Colon indicates that they have met 22 times, of which Colón won 11 matches and Godoy Cruz 8. These teams have only tied three times, so we expect one of them to win on Sunday. At JefeBet, we believe it will be Godoy Cruz the team that will take the points.
Prediction: Godoy Cruz wins 2-0.
