Velez Sarsfield, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Instituto will not have sat easily with the Vélez Sarsfield squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Instituto, who had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Ricardo Gareca will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at The Estadio José Amalfitani, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. Gareca will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
Vélez will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Lucas Janson will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The Estadio José Amalfitani having scored 6 goals in Vélez Sarsfield's last 6 home games in the league.
Barracas Central, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Platense in their last league game, Barracas Central will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with a 41% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Platense, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
On an individual basis, Bruno Sepúlveda will be looking to cause Vélez Sarsfield some problems having scored 3 goals in Barracas Central's last 6 away games in the league.
Vélez Sarsfield recorded a 1-0 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Vélez manager Ricardo Gareca has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Santiago Cáseres (Ankle), Nicolás Garayalde (Ankle), Leonardo Jara (Groin) and Ignacio Méndez (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Barracas manager Rodolfo de Paoli has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
