Betting on Velez
Joy was all around in Liniers when news broke that Ricardo Gareca was returning to the Vélez Sarsfield coaching staff. However, the results have not been what the fans expected, with their club sitting in sixteenth place on the standings with just 15 points, nine points away from the last spot that grants access to the next Copa Libertadores.
When Gareca took over the Fortín first team, he achieved a resounding 4-0 victory against Central Cordoba of Santiago del Estero. Everything pointed to endless success for the former coach of Peru’s national team. However, since that match, they have not been able to win, with three draws and two defeats.
In their last game, they lost to Colón away by a tight 1-2 score. However, not all is lost for Vélez. As visitors, they are one of the worst clubs in this Argentine League, but their record at home is more than promising. Out of seven games played at their home stadium, they have won two, drawn four, and only succumbed to defeat once. Can they turn things around?
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Gaston Gomez; Tomás Guidara, Diego Godín, Miguel Brizuela, Francisco Ortega; Christian Ordoñez, José Florentín; Gianluca Prestianni, Lucas Pratto, Lucas Janson; Abiel Osorio.
Betting on San Lorenzo
San Lorenzo’s reality is completely different from that of their opponent. They currently sit in second place in the Argentine League with 27 points, six behind the leader River Plate. Moreover, in the domestic tournament, they haven’t tasted defeat since March 20, when they lost by the minimum difference against Newell’s in a Marcelo Bielsa Stadium packed with spectators.
Commanded by Rubén Darío Insúa, they come from achieving a valuable victory at home. The victim was Platense, who saw their dreams vanish at the 93rd minute due to a goal from Colombian Rafael Pérez. This meant the Cyclone‘s eighth win in 13 games, in which they scored 15 goals and conceded only five.
Looking ahead to this crucial challenge, the Boedo natives will recover Augusto Batalla under the posts, largely responsible for their squad having the least goals against in the championship along with River. The goalkeeper is set to return to the starting eleven after being absent against the Calamar due to health related issues.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Augusto Batalla; Rafael Pérez, Federico Gattoni, Gastón Hernández; Agustín Giay, Jalil Elías, Carlos Sánchez, Malcom Braida, Nahuel Barrios; Andrés Vombergar, Nicolás Blandi.
JefeBet Prediction
A Vélez team that urges a victory will receive a confident San Lorenzo. But soccer doesn’t follow logic. The home team is focused on the domestic tournament, while the Cyclone knows that a tough match awaits them in the Copa Sudamericana, so they must conserve their strength. That’s why, at JefeBet, we believe that Gareca and his team will celebrate on Saturday afternoon.
Prediction: Velez Moneyline (VEL 2-1 SAN).
