Huracan vs Velez
Huracan secured a massive victory in their struggle to stay in the top flight last Tuesday. Even playing with ten men during the whole second half, the team beat Gimnasia LP 2-0 at home to climb out of the drop spot in the aggregate table (now leading their last opponents by one point). Accumulating nine points in the Copa Liga Profesional, El Globo are going through a positive run in league action, having won five and lost two of their last seven. At home, Huracan are on four victories in a row.
Velez Sarsfield fought very hard to claim a much-needed 2-1 home success over Sarandi Arsenal in a thrilling game last Wednesday, with Juan Mendez netting the winner in the 77th minute. Having won three and lost two in the Copa Liga Profesional, El Fortin made it nine points in group A, which allows them to stay three points above the relegation spot in the aggregate table, occupied by Gimnasia LP. On a sorry note, Velez are on four away matches without a win, having taken a single point from 12 on offer in that time.
Massive relegation game between these two teams that also have rivalry that has been growing in the last decade. One goal should open everything as neither can afford to lose here, so I’ll go with the OVER on this very short totals line.
