Velez Sarsfield, Recent FormThe Vélez Sarsfield players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Newell´s Old Boys recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 2 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target, in contrast to Newell´s Old Boys, who had 2 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Alexander Medina will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 6 goals during those same matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 6 games.
When it comes to home matches at The Estadio José Amalfitani, Walter Bou will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Vélez Sarsfield in their last 6 home games.
Independiente, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Platense will have left the Independiente squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they recorded 69 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 8 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Leandro Stillitano will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 17 games. With 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.
