Overview
- Kickoff is Saturday at 17:00 at the Feliciano Gambarte in Mendoza, with Facundo Tello refereeing and TNT Sports carrying the match.
- Coach Omar Asad has prepared a more attacking XI, with a likely 3-4-3 and three changes bringing in Tomás Rossi, Andrés Meli and Daniel Barrea.
- If Aldosivi beat San Martín de San Juan in Mar del Plata, Godoy Cruz will be relegated regardless; a Godoy Cruz win plus a draw in Mar del Plata would trigger a playoff against Aldosivi; a Godoy Cruz win plus a San Martín win would set up a playoff against San Martín.
- Godoy Cruz enter on an eight-match winless run and have yet to win at the Gambarte since its July reopening after a season marked by four different head coaches.
- Any relegation playoff would be at a neutral venue within 72 hours with extra time and penalties if needed, while Deportivo Riestra arrive already qualified for the Octogonal and clear of relegation risk.
