Patronato vs VelezÂ
Patronato will certainly end up bottom in the Copa Liga Profesional’s group six after their 1-0 away defeat at Huracan, with right back Cristian Chimino missing a penalty when the score was 0-0. El Patron managed a single point in this competition (seven behind third-placed Velez Sarsfield) and are winless in their last seven top flight matches (one draw and six losses). Three of those games took place at Estuadio Presbitero Bartolome Grella, with the hosts taking a single point.
Velez Sarsfield succumbed to their first defeat in the Copa Liga Profesional (after two victories and two draws) last Saturday, when they were beaten by Gimnasia LP 1-0 at home (with a completely alternative XI. Therefore, the team dropped down to third spot in group 6 with eight points, trailing their last opponents (in second) by goal difference, but they only need to win here in order to advance to the Fase Campeonato. Velez lost only one of their last five away domestic matches, along with three victories and one draw. Velez Sarsfield won 5-1 at Deportivo Cali in Colombia in the return leg of the Copa Sudamericana’s round-of-16, which means they advanced to the quarter-finals.
Â
Velez must win to advance to the championship stage, they come from scoring 5 at Colombia but will have some important missings, so why I can’t trust them and neither Patronato can be trusted, I can imagine that considering a draw might be the same as nothing, they will take risks here.
