Betting on Colón
Colón is currently in 23rd place in the standings with only 11 points. The team has won just one match, tied eight, and lost three. In the 12 matches the team has played so far, it has scored 10 goals and conceded 13.
In its last match against Platense, Colón played away and the game ended in a 0-0 draw. However, the good news for Néstor Gorosito’s team is that it has had the ball more than its rival (56%), and it has created more chances to score (four, from eight attempts on goal). Additionally, the Calamar has committed fewer fouls than its opponents (10 vs 12), had seven corners, and only conceded two.
Probable lineup (3-1-4-2): Ignacio Chicco; Rafael Delgado, Facundo Garcés and Paolo Goltz; Eric Meza; Baldomero Perlaza, Julián Chicco, Juan Álvarez and Carlos Arrua; Santiago Pierotti and Ramón Ábila.
Betting on Velez
Vélez also failed to meet the initial expectations, as currently sits in 16th place with 15 points. The team won three, drew six, and lost three matches so far, scoring 15 goals and conceding 11 in the 12 matchdays played.
Just like Colón, this team’s last match ended in a goalless draw at home against the modest Barracas Central. Ricardo Gareca’s team did not have a good game, registering only 45% of the ball possession, six attempts on goal, and only one effective shot. Meanwhile, the team allowed its opponent 10 shots, of which two were on target.
Both Vélez and its opponent committed 10 fouls, but Vélez only won one corner kick while conceding five. Additionally, Lucas Janson was sent off with a double yellow card, and the team’s goalkeeper, Leonardo Burián, had to be replaced in the second half due to a muscle injury. The injury seems to be just a minor strain, so he would be fit to take part in the match in Santa Fe.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Leonardo Burián; Tomás Guidara, Diego Godín, Miguel Brizuela and Francisco Ortega; Christian Ordoñez and José Florentín; Gianluca Prestianni, Lucas Pratto and Santiago Castro; and Abiel Osorio.
JefeBet Prediction
The record shows that Colon vs Velez have met 74 times, of which the Sabalero has won 18 and the Buenos Aires team 32.
Colón has been struggling to win and has only managed to secure one victory in the last 12 matches. Meanwhile, Vélez has been struggling to find its rhythm. Taking all of this into account, we at JefeBet believe that the game will end in a draw.
Prediction: Draw (COL 1-1 VEL).
