Velez vs San Martin de Tucuman

Velez Sarsfield managed a single point from the last nine available in the league after a 3-0 away defeat at Boca Juniors last time out. The team tried to play an even game, but they weren’t able to control the hosts’ strong attack. Velez earned just four points in as many weeks and need to increase their tally as they are just eight points above relegation zone. Nevertheless, all those points arrived at home, where they beat Newell’s Old Boys and drew with Banfield.

With a match in hand, San Martin Tucuman is yet to win on their return to the Superliga after nine years in lower divisions. In fact, they saved a home point, thanks to a goal from Lucas Acevedo in stoppage time to make it 1-1 against Gimnasia LP in their last league encounter, which means they collected just two points and remain bottom in the point-average table. San Martin also lost 2-0 to Rosario Central in their only away game this season. And last weekend, El Ciruja were beaten by Boca Juniors 2-0 and were knocked out in the Copa Argentina’s round-of-32.

All Velez games so far this season had at least two goals, while San Martin has conceded in all 3 matches they played. I expect an open game and the line looks worth a bet.

BET: OVER 2 @ 1.91
