Velez Sarsfield, Recent FormVélez Sarsfield will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against Talleres. They came away from that fixture with 57% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Talleres managed 7 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at The Estadio José Amalfitani. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at The Estadio José Amalfitani, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.
On an individual basis, Walter Bou will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The Estadio José Amalfitani having scored 5 goals in Vélez Sarsfield's last 6 home games in the league.
Platense, Recent FormPlatense had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Central Córdoba. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Central Córdoba's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Supremo Martín Palermo will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Platense, Nicolás Servetto will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was not a positive ending for Vélez Sarsfield last time they met Platense in the league, with the game ending in a 0-1 defeat.
Platense has won the last 2 games they've played against Vélez in the league.
With only Santiago Cáseres (Ankle) and Diego Godín (Overload) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, (TBC) will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Platense manager Martín Palermo ahead of this clash, with Ignacio Schor (Dislocated shoulder) missing out, which gives Palermo a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
