Command Analysis

Velez Sarsfield

Current form
Veles played at the highest level last season and won the championship title, although it was not considered a clear contender for gold before the start of the championship. As often happens, after an outstanding success, difficult times come – the start of the season of the new "forties" failed and are currently closing the standings. At the same time, Sebastian Dominguez's team is only six points behind the eighth Atlético Tucuman, with a match in reserve, so today there is a great opportunity to break out of the bottom of the table and join the fight for the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fernandez, Garcia, Lagos, Mammana and Monzon are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last six matches, Velez has not won – five defeats and a draw.
- Velez has not scored in the last six matches.
Approximate composition: Marchiori – Gordon, Pernicone, Queiroz, Kavanagh – Ordonez, Buzat, Pizzini – Galvan, Montoro, Santos.

Godoy Cruz

Current form
For objective reasons, Godoy Cruz did not have the opportunity to set too ambitious goals before the start of the season, and the selection of players did not allow them to seriously count on a place in the top eight. Ernesto Pederner's team started very poorly, having managed to get only two points in four rounds and with them currently occupies the 13th place in the group table. In the last round, Godoy Cruz scored a goalless draw with River Plate, thus extending the league's winless streak to four matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gonzalez is injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last four matches, Godoy Cruz has not won – two defeats and two draws.
- Godoy Cruz has not scored in the last four matches.
Approximate composition: Petroli – Meli, Rasmussen, Mendoza, Jara – Poggi, Leyes, Fernandez – Parzayuk, Altamira, Yanes.

2.59Tip and bets
Velez started the season very poorly and is still closing the standings, but at the same time there is still an opportunity to improve and join the fight for the playoffs. Obviously, the hosts will be as determined as possible today and they will not be satisfied with any other result than victory. The "forties" are quite capable of achieving their goal, the "Godoy Cruz" is also not in the best condition for the fight and is significantly inferior in class. It makes sense to give preference to the favorite in such a match and count on his first victory of the season.
We believe that the guests have no chance. The forecast is a victory for Veles. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on the total
After five matches without a win, Veles gets a great opportunity to break its losing streak, leave the last place in the table and join the fight for the playoffs. There is no doubt that the hosts will be as determined as possible today and will obviously go forward with great strength in the first half. It is unlikely that Godoy Cruz has a real chance to win back to zero today, but at the same time, the Forties are also extremely vulnerable defensively, it makes sense to count on goals scored.
The bet is a total of more than two goals. This bet is offered for 1.81
Betting on corners
Veles is the favorite and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the hosts should win confidently from the corners.
