Velez – Central Cordoba

Miguel Brizuela’s goal in the 89th minute allowed Velez Sarsfield to avoid another defeat last Sunday, when they drew 2-2 away at Sarandi Arsenal. However, the team continue to leave terrible impressions in the league. Following that result, Alexander Medina’s men are now winless in the last 14 Liga Profesional games (nine draws and five defeats), accumulating only 13 points after 18 rounds.

CA Central Cordoba took a little breather in their struggle to avoid relegation last Saturday, when they showed significant improvements to beat Godoy Cruz 3-0 at home. The team put an end to their three-game winless streak in league action (one draw and two defeats) to make it 21 points and opened a healthy six-point gap over the first drop spot in the relegation table, occupied by Aldosivi.

Velez played only 48 hrs ago when they were lucky not to lose thanks to a last minute goal, and they play again in 48 hrs for Copa Argentina’s Round of 16, so with nothing to play for in the league they are expected to use a lot of reserves and Central Cordoba should take some very needed points.

BET: Central Cordoba +0.75 @ 1.77
