Velez vs Rosario Central
Thanks to an own goal by Mateo Ramírez in the 87th minute, Vélez Sarsfield earned a valuable point in their visit to Deportivo Riestra —the league’s best home side— after a 2-2 draw. Unbeaten in their last seven matches in the Torneo Clausura (five wins and two draws), El Fortín remain second in Group B with 22 points, just one behind their most recent opponent. Vélez are unbeaten in their last six home league games, with five wins and one draw. Claudio Baeza, who reached the yellow-card limit, is suspended for Saturday, while Agustín Bouzat returns from suspension.
Rosario Central continue to prove themselves a very reliable side. Last Sunday, they came from behind to defeat River Plate 2-1, with goals from Franco Ibarra and Ignacio Malcorra. El Canalla remain unbeaten in the Torneo Clausura with 18 points (from four wins and six draws) and stay within the playoff positions. They are also top of the overall standings, even with a game in hand. Away from home, Central are unbeaten in their last seven matches — three wins and four draws.
Two of the best teams in the league meet here and this totals line looks too low to skip. These two can definitely score so I’ll go with the OVER.
