Velez Sarsfield take on the visitors Atletico Tucuman in the round 6 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Sunday, July 3nd at Estadio José Amalfitani (Buenos Aires).
Vélez Sarsfield looks much weaker this season than last one. "El Fortin" last took trophies almost 10 years ago, in 2013. So the 5th place in last year's Example looked like a serious success. But it didn't work out at that level. In the Copa Libertadores, the club was able to give a good result - they reached the playoffs. And they just started there with a meeting with River Plate, having managed to win at home due to a single goal from a penalty kick. At the same time, the team scored 18 points in the spring - this was not enough to continue the fight in the playoffs of Copa Diego Maradona. In the Liga, Pellegrino's wards started with 1 point in the first 3 rounds (moreover, they took a draw with Patronato on the road, after which they lost twice). But by the end of June it turned out to add: 2-0 at home with Rosario Central, 1-1 on the field of Defensa y Justicia.

Atlético Tucuman was able to improve a little in the Liga. "Decano" finished in last year's championship in the penultimate place and did not fly out only because of the specifics of the rules of Argentine football. And in the spring, in Copa Diego Maradona, the club took a modest 11 points - only 2 underdogs had 1 less. Against this background, Asconzabal's wards unexpectedly started well, as for themselves, a new draw in the Liga. At the same time, there were draws three times, including with the current champion, River Plate, and they even won against Lanus. True, in the cup they lost 0-1 to Independiente. And with Godoy Cruz, they did not keep the advantage at home, allowing the visitors to level the score.
In total, 9 head-to-heads were played, and Veles Sarsfield won 5 of them. Atlético Tucuman have only won twice, but last year they were 2-0 in their favor in Copa Diego Maradona and 0-0 in the championship. Velez Sarsfield looks more confident than Atletico Tucuman and plays at home. But the advantage still needs to be converted into goals, and there may be problems with this. We bet on “under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
