Sarmiento Junin take on the visitors Velez Sarsfield in the round 25 match of Argentinian Liga Professional. The match will be played on Saturday, June 15th at Estadio Eva Peron (Junin).
Sarmiento are becoming more and more disappointing recently. "La Barra Del Cemento" seems quite satisfied with their performance this season. Overall, it's understandable considering they are a modest team that has been promoted from the second division of Argentina multiple times, including in 2020. In the previous Primera season, they finished in a modest, though not disastrous, 21st place. Currently, they have managed to hold their ground in the middle of the league table. It seemed like they could even compete for a Copa Sudamericana spot. However, they couldn't or didn't maintain their form in the summer. As a result, the 0-1 defeat to Platense was their fourth loss in the last five matches.

Velez Sarsfield have shown some improvement in recent rounds. "El Fortin" celebrated their 10th championship title exactly 10 years ago. However, since then, there have been disappointments, including finishing 26th out of 28 teams in the previous Primera season. Even after the return of the legendary coach Gareca, who is highly regarded by local fans, the ambitious and popular club has been lingering near the bottom of the league table. It was only in July that they finally showed signs of revival, winning against another struggling team, Arsenal Sarandi, and following it up with a 1-0 victory over Lanus, as well as a home draw against Godoy Cruz.
Previous matches have seen Velez Sarsfield secure three consecutive victories. Only last year did Sarmiento manage to at least draw against "El Fortin". Judging by the odds, we can expect a hard-fought match with a slight advantage for the home team and minimal scoring. However, the away team has also shown signs of improvement, so betting on a "total over 1.5 goals" seems reasonable.
Prediction for the match: Over 1.5 scored goals.
