Colon – Velez

Colon coach Julio Falcioni decided to pick a completely alternative XI to visit Godoy Cruz in round six and his team ended up losing 1-0. That result represented El Sabalero’s third consecutive defeat in league action (without even scoring) and means they remain on five points in the Liga Profesional. As a result, the side continue wasting opportunities to approach the continental spots in the aggregate table. On a positive note, Colon grabbed four of those points at home as a product of one victory, one draw and one loss. On Wednesday 6, they lost 2-0 at home to Talleres in the return leg of the Copa Libertadores round-of-16 and were knocked out of the competition. Coach Julio Falcioni waved goodbye after that game.

Velez Sarsfield coach Alexander Medina rested his regulars in the last league game too and his team couldn’t handle it. The 1-0 home defeat to Atletico Tucuman means El Fortin continue performing an irregular campaign in the Liga Profesional, having earned only five points after registering one win, two draws and three losses, which places them far away from the continental fight. Velez also remain winless on the road in this competition, having drawn two and lost one so far. On Wednesday 8, they drew 0-0 away at River Plate in the return leg of the Copa Libertadores’ round of 16, advancing to the quarter-finals.

Colon is not the team they were last season, they are now without a coach and out of Copa Libertadores but these odds are too big for them at home against a very irregular team like Velez who won only 1 league game like them so I’m going with the hosts to win again.
