Colon vs Velez Sarsfield Prediction: Can Both Teams Press on the Paddle and Move Up the Standings?

Colon and Velez Sarsfield will meet in the upcoming fixture of the Argentine Primera Division. Going in the game, Colon stands 23rd with 6 points and a win from its 6 games played. Velez Sarsfield stands 24th, just below Colon, with the same statistics so far in the league. Both teams will be eying nothing less than a win at this stage. A win coming their way will certainly refresh the entire squad giving a boost to the morale of players and officials.

With not a single win from their last five games played, Colon will be eagerly waiting for a win to come their way. However, they will need to put in some effort and win over Velez Sarsfield, which won’t be a quite straightforward task. Going in the game, Colon has lost to Talleres (0-2) and Godoy Cruz (1-0). Colon are also behind in the head-to-head stats against Velez, making them less likely to win at home. Colon averages 0.7 goals per game, which is similar to Velez Sarsfield but needs to be improved. Their last 2 home games have also been a total disaster as they haven’t managed to score to a single goal.

• Ramon Abila
• Facundo Farias
• Federico Lertora

Velez Sarsfield are doing much better than Colon on paper as they managed to tie the game against River Plate (0-0) and win over River Plate (1-0) previously. However, they even lost to Atletico Tucuman (0-1), but they have recovered well and doing quite well. For Velez Sarsfield, Leonardo Burian will be quite important as he has 4.6 saves per game in the competition. 

• Luca Orellano
• Damian Fernandez
• Lucas Janson
• Nicolas Garaylade

Going in the game, I will be backing Velez Sarsfield to win over Colon comprehensively unless there are no upsets. Both teams are likely to score, and the game is to be stretched to the last minute. 

• Velez Sarsfield to Win for 2.5
• Both Teams to Score - Yes for 1.97
• Correct Score 1-2 for 9.5
