Overview
- Godoy Cruz host Deportivo Riestra at 17:00 in Mendoza’s Feliciano Gambarte, with Facundo Tello refereeing, VAR by Lucas Novelli, and TNT Sports broadcasting.
- A win is mandatory for Godoy Cruz, who sit last in the annual table on 28 points, while Aldosivi and San Martín de San Juan have 30 each.
- The Mendoza side only stay alive if Aldosivi fail to beat San Martín; a draw in Mar del Plata plus a Godoy Cruz win triggers a tiebreaker with Aldosivi, while a San Martín win sets up a playoff between the cuyanos.
- Godoy Cruz have not won since returning to the Gambarte (five draws and three losses there) and have cycled through four coaches this year, now led by Omar Asad.
- Any relegation playoff would be at a neutral venue within 72 hours with extra time and penalties if needed, and Riestra arrive already qualified for the Octogonal despite a recent defeat.
