Vélez Sarsfield, Recent FormAn important point secured against Rosario Central will have left Vélez Sarsfield quite happy with their 0-0 draw. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Rosario Central's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Having scored just 1 goal in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Ricardo Gareca where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 5 in the same period. They have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've not been beaten at The Estadio José Amalfitani in 6 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 4 games there, the El Fortín fans will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win at home again.
River Plate, Recent FormRiver Plate head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 home win against Platense in their last league encounter. Their share of possession in that meeting was 68%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Platense had 13 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Martín Demichelis will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 23 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games away from home.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way. It's been a good season so far with them having won 13 of their 17 league games.
Miguel Borja will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for River Plate.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
Vélez have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with El Millonario.
