Velez – Aldosivi

Velez Sarsfield ended up in the second spot of the 2021 aggregate table, which gave them a ticket for the Copa Libertadores. However, the team haven’t won any of their last three league games, drawing one and losing two. On a positive note, El Fortin are on ten home matches unbeaten in league action, having won seven and drawn three. Coach Mauricio Pellegrino will be missing important players who left the club: Thiago Almada (sold to MLS outfit Atlanta Utd.), Juan Martin Lucero (Colo Colo, Chile), Geronimo Poblete (FK Metalist, Ukraine) and Federico Mancuello (Puebla, Mexico) are the biggest losses.

Aldosivi won four of their last five league games (losing only one) and that run allowed them to take a little breather (in fact, they collected eight points from the last 15 available on the road), but the team are still threatened by relegation, occupying 23rd place in the respective table. It’s been a hectic summer for coach Martin Palermo: the club signed 11 new players, meanwhile, 15 men left the club

Despite losing important players I can imagine Velez as offensive as usual, especially against this Aldosivi that had the worst defense last year.
