Godoy Cruz and Rosario Central go head-to-head on Wednesday night at the Estadio Feliciano Gambarte in the Argentinian Primera Division.
Godoy Cruz are looking for their opening league win of the seasonThe home team head into this encounter on the back of picking up just two points from their opening three league matches of the campaign.
They opened their Primera Division campaign with a 1-0 home defeat by Barracas Central, followed by back-to-back draws against Independiente Rivadavia and Estudiantes.
The poor start to the campaign means that Godoy Cruz has now failed to win in five games in the Argentinian top flight.
This season, all three of Godoy Cruz's Primera Division games have produced under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring matches.
The men from Mendoza have also won just two of their previous seven home matches in the Primera Division, dating back to the last campaign.
Rosario Central looking to extend their unbeaten runThe visitors have made a mixed start to the new Primera Division campaign, picking up five points from their opening four matches in the Argentinian top flight.
However, a 1-1 home draw with Lanus last time out in the league at least means that they are unbeaten in three Primera Division games.
Similar to the home team, Rosario Central’s league games have not exactly been goal-filled this season, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their five matches in the Primera Division.
The visitors have not been great travellers of late in the Primera Division. A 2-0 win at Deportivo Riestra in their last away game in the league ended a horrendous run of five straight defeats on the road in the top flight.
What am I backing?Neither team exactly heads into this encounter in sparkling form. The lack of recent results points to this game being a close and low-scoring one, which is why the result I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
