Velez – Argentinos Jrs

Juan Martin Lucero’s goal in the second half allowed Velez to take an important point on their visit to Talleres last Friday, when they drew 1-1. After succumbing to a single defeat in their last 15 league games (along with nine victories and five stalemates), El Fortin accumulated 35 points in the Liga Profesional and need only one more point to secure their ticket to the Copa Libertadores 2022 through the aggregate table. At home, Velez are on eight games unbeaten in this competition, with six victories and two draws.

Argentinos Juniors extended their winless streak to four league games (two draws and two defeats) last Friday, when they had to settle for a scoreless stalemate against Godoy Cruz at home. The team produced an irregular campaign in the Liga Profesional, with 26 points, and continue wasting chances of approaching the Copa Sudamericana spots in the 2021 aggregate table. On away turf, Gabriel Milito’s men managed a single point from the last nine available (since beating Rosario Central in early October).

Without a doubt Velez is the better team here, they are very close to secure a Copa Libertadores place and the should beat this very irregular Argentinos.
