Through a remarkable performance, Velez Sarsfield did not find any difficulties to beat Lanus 2-0 at home and 4-1 on aggregate. Gabriel Heinze’s men have claimed four victories in their last five games (losing the other), including the last three – curiously against the same opponents. El Fortin also won their last three matches at Jose Amalfitani Stadium without even conceding. Â
Boca Juniors reached the Superliga Cup’s quarter-finals via an easy 3-1 home victory over Godoy Cruz last Sunday (5-2 on aggregate). On Thursday, they won 2-1 over Athletico Paranaense from Brazil, also at home, in a Copa Libertadores group game. Therefore, El Xeneize is on eight competitive encounters without defeat, having won five and drawn three in regular time. Â
Boca has one of the best squads in the league but Velez is a young team that is in great form and should be able to get something at home.
