Betting on Talleres
Talleres is one of the tournament leaders with 12 points, after four wins. In the last matchday, the local team achieved an important victory against Platense playing away, with a resounding score of 4-2.
The only match that Javier Gandolfi’s team lost was in the debut against Independiente, and it was due to an own goal. For the match against Vélez, Nahuel Bustos will not be able to start the match due to a tear in his left leg, which he suffered in a friendly match prior to Sunday’s match. Unfortunately for the locals, this will be a sensitive loss for Gandolfi.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Guido Herrera; Gastón Benavídez, Matías Catalán, Juan Rodríguez, Juan Portillo; Alan Franco, Rodrigo Villagra, Ramón Sosa, Rodrigo Garro; Francisco Pizzini, Michael Santos.
Betting on Velez Sarfield
Things are not going well for Vélez, since they are 17th in the standings with only five units. The last match was decisive, as with the loss to Boca Juniors at home (1-2), Cacique Medina was dismissed as the coach of El Fortín.
At this time, there is no talk in Liniers about anything other than the possible return of Tigre Gareca as Velez’s manager. While rumors already had him in the Ecuadorian national team coach’s jersey, in the last few hours he met with the manager of the Buenos Aires club, Cristian Bassedas, who seduced him with an ambitious soccer project.
It should be recalled that Tigre led Velez to four titles (Clausura 2009 and 2011, Torneo Inicial 2012 and Supercopa 2012/2013), while managing Velez in 250 matches, of which he won 128, lost 59 and drew 63 (effectiveness of 59.71%).
Probable lineup: (4-3-3): Leonardo Burián; Tomás Guidara, Lautaro Gianetti, Diego Godín, Francisco Ortega; Elías Cabera, Juan Méndez, José Florentín; Santiago Castro, Abiel Osorio, Lucas Janson.
JefeBet Prediction
Velez and Talleres have faced each other on 50 occasions, with the team from Liniers winning 18 games and Talleres 17.
Talleres will be looking to take advantage of a team that is in transition, awaiting a definitive coach to change their outlook. Gandolfi manages a large squad, and has experienced and hierarchical players such as Diego Valoyes and Julio Buffarini on the bench. In other words, they have what it takes to beat Velez, and at JefeBet we believe that the three points will stay in Córdoba.
Prediction: Talleres wins 2-0.
