Velez Sarsfield, Recent FormVélez Sarsfield manager Alexander Medina will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Atlético Tucumán. They came away from that fixture with 51% of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Atlético Tucumán managed 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Medina will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at The Estadio José Amalfitani. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well at The Estadio José Amalfitani recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
On an individual basis, Walter Bou will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The Estadio José Amalfitani having scored 5 goals in Vélez Sarsfield's last 6 home games in the league.
Boca Juniors, Recent FormBoca Juniors will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 home win against Platense. In that game they recorded 54 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 13 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Hugo Ibarra will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 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 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. Away from home, they have become reasonably solid at the back with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away outings.
This squad has enjoyed a decent run of league form on the road of late with 4 wins from their last 6 away matches.
On an individual basis, Luca Langoni is giving Boca Juniors' travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 1-0 win for Boca Juniors.
In their past 5 meetings, Boca's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so El Fortín will have to take their chances when they come. Vélez have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Boca.
There is only really one injury concern for the Vélez manager Alexander Medina ahead of this clash, with Santiago Cáseres (Ankle) missing out, which gives Medina a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Hugo Ibarra has a number of injury concerns in his Boca squad to contend with: Nicolás Orsini (Muscle), Marcos Rojo (Cruciate ligament) and Luis Vázquez (Muscle)
