Racing Club take on the visitors Velez Sarsfield in the round 3 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Friday, June 17th at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón (Avellaneda).
Racing was good this spring. They have a strong team that proved this relatively recently, in 2019, having secured its 9th league title. To repeat again such an achievement did not work out. But in Copa Diego Maradona the representative of Avellaneda is already traditionally good. In the last draw, it was possible to reach the final. In the current one, 30 points were taken in the group round, which was the best result of all participants. But in the semi-finals, the club was knocked out on penalties by Boca Juniors. At the same time, the 1st place was lost to Melgar in Copa Sudamericana only by additional indicators. But in the Liga they started with a confident 2-0 victory over Huracan. But then there was a defeat with the same score by Godoy Cruz.

Velez Sarsfield is still only a mid-tbale side in Argentine elite division. They experienced their peak at the turn of the first decades of the new century, when in 2009-2013 they took the champion titles four times. But then there was a departure to the second role, and the 5th place in the last championship was perceived as quite good results. In last Copa Diego Maradona they collected a modest 18 points in 14 matches - it was not enough to continue the battle. On the other hand, the Copa Libertadores seemed to be the priority at the time. Not without difficulty, taking only 8 points, but the Argentines still made it to the playoffs there. They also continue battling in the cup, where they passed Rivadavia. But in the Liga, Veles Sarsfield started with a draw, 1-1 on the Patronato field. And after that there was 0-1 defeat at home with Platense.
Both recent head-to-heads ended in goalless draws last year. But in the quarterfinals of the previous draw of Copa Diego Maradona, the players of Racing turned out to be stronger in the penalty shootout, although they played on the road. Velez looks as unconvincing as possible. And Racing should use this - we recommend betting on the victory of the home team in Avellaneda.
Prediction for the match: Racing Club to win.
