Godoy Cruz will try to reach the top of the Professional Football League for at least a few hours when he visits Central Córdoba, which is struggling to avoid relegation, this Saturday in a match corresponding to the 18th date of the competition. The duel will be played at the Madre de Ciudades stadium in Santiago del Estero from 3:30 pm, directed by Jorge Baliño and broadcast by TNT Sports.
Mendoza’s team, one of the pleasant surprises of this championship, started the season worried about relegation, but the good performance brought them to the front: those led by Sergio Gómez and Favio Orsi have 31 points and are two of the leaders, Atlético Tucumán and Gimnasia.
Meanwhile, the team led by Abel Balbo is third from last in the average ranking, only above Aldosivi (behind him by three points) and Patronato (he is five points behind). This is why a victory is urgent for the railwayman.
