All Boys vs Godoy Cruz: match statistics

All Boys have drawn 69% of their home matches and lost only 6%, making a draw the most likely outcome despite their opponents’ better recent form. The hosts concede just 0.38 goals per game at home and keep a clean sheet in 63% of matches, but score only 0.56 goals per game. Godoy Cruz have won 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring 10 goals in the process, while All Boys have recorded one win and scored 3 goals. However, the visitors lose 44% of their away matches, and their average xG on the road is 1.27, compared with All Boys’ 1.43 at home. The hosts’ solid defense and lack of attacking efficiency therefore point to a closely contested match, although Godoy Cruz’s recent results increase the visitors’ chances of winning.

BTTS - No has a slight edge, as Godoy Cruz failed to score in 44% of matches, while All Boys kept a clean sheet in 44% of their games. The visitors average 0.88 goals and 2.94 shots on target per match, compared with the hosts’ 1.69 goals and 5.06 shots on target. This suggests that if either team fails to score, Godoy Cruz are more likely to be the side kept off the scoresheet. The risk to this pick is the visitors’ improved form: they have scored 10 goals in their last 5 matches, with BTTS landing in 80% of those games. Even so, the teams’ season BTTS rates stand at 50% and 44%, against a league average of 39%, so the visitors’ recent run should be treated with caution.

The strongest signal is Under 3.5 goals: this line has not been exceeded in 87% of All Boys matches and 81% of Godoy Cruz matches. The hosts average 1.69 goals scored while conceding just 0.69, whereas the visitors average 0.88 goals and have failed to score in 44% of their matches. Recent form calls for caution, as Godoy Cruz have scored 10 goals in five matches, but All Boys have managed just 3 over the same period, limiting expectations for the total. The 2.25-goal projection accounts for both the visitors’ recent upturn and the league’s low average of 1.94 goals per match; therefore, the 3.5 line offers a clearer edge than the more closely priced 2.5 line.

A draw at half-time is the most likely starting point: All Boys were level at the break in 80% of their last five matches and did not score before half-time in any of them. Godoy Cruz did lead at the break in 3 of their last 5 games, but they were level at half-time in 44% of their away matches, so an early lead for the visitors cannot be assumed. All Boys’ home record supports a subsequent home win: they have won 69% of their matches at home, scoring an average of 1.69 goals, while Godoy Cruz have lost 44% of their away games and scored an average of 0.88 goals in them. All Boys have averaged 0.75 goals after half-time at home, compared with 0.31 for the visitors away, so in a closely contested first half, the hosts look more likely to score the decisive goal. Godoy Cruz’s four wins in their last five matches are a significant argument against confidently backing an All Boys win, but the combination of frequent half-time draws and the hosts’ strong home record points to an X/1 scenario.
