Even though they have not begun the second phase well, we trust that Godoy Cruz can return to winning ways this weekend against a side that are not as stingy defensively as they are.
With only two points from their first three matches in this phase of the competition, Godoy Cruz are barely clinging to a Copa Sudamericana spot for next season.
Their superior goal difference over Lanus is the only factor keeping them in that final Sudamericana position, as the Mendoza-based club has not won a Primera match since matchday 13 of the opening phase (a 1-0 victory over Sarmiento).
Five of their nine domestic wins in 2024 have come on their home turf, but they now face the risk of losing consecutive home games at Estadio Feliciano Gambarte for the first time this season.
In their recent domestic matches, Rosario have battled until the very end, earning at least a point in three consecutive league fixtures.
Three of their last four goals in this competition have come in the second half, with two scored after the 85th minute.
Miguel Angel Russo's team is currently well behind in the race for a Sudamericana spot next season, sitting 21st in the overall table and trailing Godoy Cruz by eight points.
A win on Wednesday would be their first consecutive away victories in the Primera Division this season.
