Godoy Cruz vs Atletico Grau Prediction 29 May 2025

The team's last official match took place on in the Copa Sudamericana, featuring Grêmio as the hosts and Godoy Cruz as the visitors. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Here's the match statistics (Godoy Cruz vs Grêmio):

• possession: 37% vs 63%;
• corners: 1 vs 2;
• fouls: 12 vs 9;
• yellow cards: 1 vs 2;
• shots on target: 5 vs 7.

Godoy Cruz sit atop their group with three wins and two draws. However, their tally of 11 points isn't enough to secure a direct spot in the Copa Sudamericana Round of 16 just yet, as Gremio trail by only two points. This means that if the Argentinians lose and the Brazilians win in the concurrent match, Godoy Cruz would drop to second place and face the prospect of starting the playoffs from the Round of 32-an outcome they are keen to avoid. In domestic competition, Godoy Cruz finished 9th in Group B of the Argentine Apertura, collecting 17 points-just one shy of making the playoffs. Over their last 10 matches across all competitions, they have recorded 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses. In the Copa Sudamericana, Godoy Cruz showcase their strengths, particularly ball control and disciplined defense. At home, they concede an average of just 0.6 goals per match. While their attack isn't always prolific, averaging about 1.6 goals per game, their solid defense combined with effective counter-attacks and set-piece execution make them a formidable opponent.

The visitors last played an official match on in Peru's Liga 1 - Apertura, where Atletico Grau hosted Deportivo Binacional. The match concluded with a 3-0 scoreline.

Here are the match stats (Atletico Grau vs Deportivo Binacional):

• possession: 60% vs 40%;
• corners: 5 vs 2;
• fouls: 12 vs 9;
• yellow cards: 0 vs 1;
• shots on target: 9 vs 0.

Atlético Grau are sitting third in their group with three points. They've yet to secure a victory, drawing three times and suffering two defeats. The Peruvian side's sole motivation in the upcoming match is to maintain their third-place position and avoid slipping to the bottom, currently occupied by Sportivo Luqueño. If the Paraguayans manage to beat Grêmio and Grau lose to Godoy Cruz, Grau face the risk of finishing last in the group. In this year's Copa Sudamericana, Atlético Grau have struggled offensively, scoring only 3 goals (an average of 0.6 per match) while conceding 7 (1.4 per game), highlighting significant issues both in attack and defense. In Peru's Liga 1, after 12 rounds, the team are positioned 13th. Before their most recent game, Grau went winless for 12 matches, primarily drawing - with 9 draws and 3 losses. However, the "curse" was broken in their last outing as they convincingly defeated Binacional 3-0. Therefore, despite Godoy Cruz's home advantage and their victory in the first leg, Atlético Grau should not be underestimated-especially now that the visitors have shown signs of regaining form.
