A 2-1 away win against Atlético Tucumán has put Vélez Sarsfield in good stead for this game, away from home. Vélez made the most of their 44 per cent possession by being sharp in transitions and clinical in the final third. Given their response, they went on to equalise within six minutes after falling behind in the 21st minute, on a Braian Romero goal. Carrizo's winner in the 68th minute put paid to a composed second half from the winners. With space, Vélez were dangerous, and they only managed two shots on target but scored twice. Under pressure, so too did their defensive organization stand firm and these came under particular scrutiny in the dying moments.
Dep. Riestra (DDWDD)
Probably their most disciplined performance of the season, Deportivo Riestra fought to a hard fought point with River Plate in a 0-0 draw. Though they were beaten 17-9 on shots, they were outpossessed 25-45 and created big chances, which they then defended heroically, blocking numerous River attempts. A well drilled and resilient defensive unit displayed themselves as River's attack was frustrated by their ability to do so, especially in the second half. It was the goalkeeper performance and tactical discipline that held one of the strongest teams of the league at bay.
Expert Betting Tips
There will be a clash of styles here, as we go from Deportivo Riestra who defend like no other side and counterattack on the back of it. . At home Vélez will aim to play more to the ball, but must be careful not to give Riestra too much space and a few occasional direct kicks with which to hurt them. At home advantage and with a better overall quality in attack, Vélez Sarsfield should be the team to take. But even the stubborn Riestra side will have to suffer an opening before taking aim in the final third.
