Godoy Cruz vs Banfield Match Preview
After a huge disappointment on their trip to Uruguay Banfield will have little time to recover on their way to Mendoza. Only a victory will allow the Taladro to leapfrog their opponent and become the second alternative for the title, which will give team's players a much needed injection of adrenaline to keep their way up. Their main weakness against Nacional were the free kicks "Both goals hurt too much, because we were practicing the whole week long how to defend stopped balls" regretted Julio Cesar Falcioni. Banfield is the team that conceded less goals during the tournament, and the solidity of their defense will be of the utmost importance to stop Higuain's blows.
The Tomba have another tough match to prove they're meant for the title. Thanks to Federico Higuain they obtained a decisive victory last week against Atletico, and now they'll have the joy of recovering Nicolàs Olmedo, a key player during the first weeks. Sebastian Martinez might also have a shot to join the starting eleven, as long as he's fully recovered from its feet problem. Omar Asad won't risk him just for a match, and drinking from the wounds of the champion might enhance Tomba's strength for this second half of the tournament.
