Estudiantes couldn’t hold onto their 1-0 lead and lost 2-1 at Godoy Cruz, who hadn’t earned any points beforehand. Gabriel Milito’s men remain threatened by relegation as they stay only five points above the bottom three in the respective table. El Pincha managed six points in the Superliga so far and all of which have been claimed at Estadio Ciudad de La Plata, where they beat Aldosivi and Independiente. Estudiantes centre back Gonzalo Jara succumbed to a muscle problem at Godoy Cruz and won’t feature.
Velez Sarsfield celebrated their first victory of this season last Saturday when beating Newell’s Old Boys 3-1 at home with Nicolas Dominguez as the most valuable player of the game. El Fortin showed great improvements regarding their previous games and made it four points in the Superliga table. On a sorry note, Velez are yet to earn points on the road, having lost to Talleres and Lanus so far.
Very short totals line in this match and considering Estudiantes is strong at home and Velez is a dangerous team in attack, I have to take the OVER here as well.
