Independiente Vélez Sarsfield betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 23^th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Estudiantes, by (3‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Newell's Old Boys, by (3‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 7 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Vélez Sarsfield has a record of 2 draws and 7 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 9 away matches. In their away league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 2‑0 (4 out of 9 matches) and 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 16 matches for the Primera División, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Vélez Sarsfield does not come very well in the Argentine championship and is closer to the last placed than the clubs that are in the zone of the South American Cup, so if they want to react it is of extreme importance to score outside the house. On the other hand, they will face Independiente, the team that comes better in the competition, so they know they will face a lot of difficulties, so if they can get a tie, they cannot complain. For this match Coach Omar De Felippe should not have absences due to injury or expulsion.

Confirmed Lineup: Fabian Assmann, Maximiliano Caire, Brian Cufre, Cristian Nasuti, Héctor Canteros, Leandro Desábato, Diego Zabala, Juan Martinez, Mariano Pavone, Gonzalo Díaz.
