Betting on Velez Sarfield
Following the departure of Alexander Medina, Velez has already made Ricardo Gareca the club’s official new coach. With 65 years of age, Tigre returns to the club that saw him win multiple championships in Argentine soccer. “Gareca returns to continue making history at Vélez. Thank you for coming back, Tigre,” the club said on its social networks.
In Fortín’s last three matches, both teams have scored goals, and in the last two there have been three goals scored. A positive point worth noting is that Platense has not been able to prevent the opposing team from scoring in any of the matches it has played in during the competition. More than enough information to bet that both teams will score goals in this match.
With only one training session under his belt, the coach has not yet tested the starting eleven for the match against Platense. However, it is expected that there will not be many changes after the 2-1 win against Talleres de Córdoba, which had Gareca watching from the stands.
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.
Betting on Platense
“The urgency to get good results is a reality, we have to focus on that need and on the team’s work”, highlighted Mauro Quiroga in view to the clash against Vélez Sarsfield. In fact, his team has attained just one win in this Argentine First Division.
The Calamar has gone four matches without winning the three points. The team arrives to this challenge after a 1-1 draw against Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero. Away from home, the team has one win and one loss. The last time the team played away, it returned to Vicente López with a 1-3 win against Boca Juniors. While the visiting team has conceded goals in all six of its matches, it has also scored at least once in those matches.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Marcos Ledesma; Brian Blais, Fabio Pereyra, Gonzalo Goñi and Gustavo Canto; Leandro Maciel and Mauro Pittón; Ciro Rius, Brian Farioli and Lucas Besozzi; and Gonzalo Torres.
JefeBet Prediction
Gareca’s return to the club he has always loved is not a minor detail when it comes to predicting this match’s result. The Tigre is known to be a coach that motivates his players, which is just what this squad seems to be needing.
Moreover, there’s nothing better than making his debut against one of the worst defenses of this tournament. Therefore, at JefeBet we believe that the home team will win and that there will be many emotions involved in what promises to be an electrifying Velez vs Platense clash.
Prediction: Over (VEL 3-1 PLA).
