Godoy Cruz, one of the entertainers of the Professional Football League (LPF), will receive a Vélez Sarsfield focused on the Copa Libertadores at the beginning of the eleventh date.
The match will be played from 8:00 p.m. at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium in Mendoza, with arbitration by Pablo Echavarría and broadcast by ESPN Premium. In the VAR will be Nicolás Lamolina and Lucas Novelli.
The “Tomba” is sixth with 17 points and with last Monday’s defeat in his visit to Unión de Santa Fe (2-1) he cut a streak of seven unbeaten games between the tournament and Copa Argentina.
Vélez drew on Monday in Liniers against Huracán (1-1) and needs to return to victory before receiving Talleres on Wednesday for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.
The “Fortín” ranks 24th with just 8 units, has gone six games without a win and its last celebration was 1-0 over River Plate in the first leg of the round of 16 of the South American tournament.
In the local championship, his only victory was on date 4 when he defeated Rosario Central (2-0) at José Amalfitani and he still could not add three in the six dates he played as a visitor.
On the other hand, Godoy Cruz has nine games without losing in Mendoza with five consecutive wins.
The technical duo made up of Sergio Gómez and Favio Orsi expressed their anger after the defeat in Santa Fe as the team suffered an expulsion in defense, in this case by Guillermo Ortiz. In his place will enter Gianluca Ferrari, who had been sent off against Huracán and previously with River Plate.
In Vélez, “Cacique” Alexander Medina gave no indication of the team but it is likely that he will present an alternative team.
Workshops and Union was postponed
The game that Union was supposed to play tomorrow from 8:00 p.m. with Talleres, at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium, was postponed without a date by the Professional Soccer League (LPF) as a result of the traffic accident suffered by the Santa Fe club’s squad when it was moving to Córdoba and that left three soccer players and four assistants injured.
Shortly after midday, the bus that was transporting the unionist delegation to Córdoba was hit by a truck a few kilometers from the exit of the Casasol property, located on highway 19, in Santa Fe, and as a result of which there were three players and four wounded auxiliaries.
After knowing the medical part that indicated that “the soccer players Leonel Bucca, Enzo Roldán and Mateo Del Blanco suffered head trauma without loss of consciousness and were transferred to a high complexity center to carry out studies”, the possibility of requesting the postponement of the meeting for Saturday at noon and thus not harm Talleres, who on Wednesday must visit Vélez for the quarterfinals of Libertadores.
“While assistants Julian Giraldez, Jose Leconte, Diego Ferrrero and Juan Ignacio Chiapino suffered injuries that required their transfers,” completed the report made by the club “tatengue”
The LPF immediately took action on the matter and decided to postpone the match to a new date that will be established in due course, also understanding the needs of both teams.
