Racing vs Velez Sarsfield Prediction: Betting on a draw

One of the matches in the third round of the Argentinian league will be between Racing and Velez Sarsfield. The bookmakers are on the side of the home side in the pairing. That said, Racing has a two-match losing streak, so you must be careful when betting on the home side.

After finishing in the South American Cup group stage, in which Racíng failed to achieve a goal after losing 0:1 to River Plate Uruguay, the future hosts have played three matches at home. Racing was eliminated from the Argentinian Cup, losing 1:2 to Agropecuario. In the national championship, Racing beat Atletico Huracan (2:0) but failed Godoy Cruz (0:2) on the road. Ahead of the upcoming game, Racing is in 18th position with an asset of three points. However, if they win, the home side could climb straight up to the top five.

Velez Sarsfield

After that success, the visitors played three official matches at home.

Expert Betting Tips

Racing is not in great form at the moment. The future hosts are out of the South American and Argentine Cup and have a 2-match losing streak but are quoted as favorites for the upcoming game. We believe that Racing is slightly overrated, and the hosts will not be able to win on Friday. Three of the last four matches between these teams have ended in a draw. We wouldn't be surprised if the upcoming game also ends in a draw.
