Godoy Cruz vs San Mart San Juan

MENDOZA, Argentina (Interstat) — Two struggling sides will look to find momentum when Godoy Cruz hosts San Martín de San Juan in a Primera Nacional fixture on Sunday.

The match at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas pits a home team with just one league win this season against a visiting side riding a rare wave of confidence.

San Martín (3-5-5) enters the contest following a 1-0 victory over Independiente on Oct. 19, a result that snapped a six-match winless streak across all competitions. That win, coupled with a 1-0 result against Almagro on Oct. 10, gives the visitors their first consecutive positive results of the campaign.

Conversely, Godoy Cruz (1-6-8) is mired in a deep slump. The team has not won in its last 10 matches across all competitions, a stretch dating to early September. Its most recent outing was a 2-0 loss to Lanús on Oct. 17. The Tomba have found goals particularly hard to come by, being shut out in four of their last five matches.

The broader season statistics paint a picture of two offensively challenged clubs. San Martín has managed just 13 goals in 40 matches in all competitions, while Godoy Cruz has scored 28 times in 46 total outings.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the most likely outcome is a 1-1 draw, a result that would extend Godoy Cruz’s winless run but also continue San Martín’s recent uptick in form.

Following this match, San Martín will host Lanús on Nov. 8, while Godoy Cruz travels to face Atlético Tucumán on Nov. 9.
