On Monday night, Velez Sarsfield host Union Santa Fe in the Argentinian Superliga, with the visitors looking to move into the Copa Libertadores spots in the league table.
The home side are enduring a difficult season so far in the Argentinian top-flight, as they are currently 17th place in the standings. In fact, Velez have picked up just ten points from their first seven league games of the season.
However, a win could move the home side into the league’s top-ten and the Copa Sudamericana places for next season.
Velez’s form has been poor of late and they have won just one of their last five Superliga games, while also losing three of their last four league games in the Argentinian top-flight.
The home side have had a major problem scoring goals of late, as they have failed to score in four of their last five games in the Superliga.
However, their home record in the Argentinian top-flight is pretty good, as they have suffered one defeat in their last seven outings while recording four wins in the process.
Santa Fe head to Buenos Aires with the chance to move to as high as second place in the table with a victory.
The visitors have lost just one of their last seven games in the Argentinian top-flight. Last time out Leonardo Madelon’s team won 2-0 against Godoy Cruz.
Santa Fe’s away record in the Argentinian top-flight of late is very poor, though, as they have won just one of their last 18 games on their travels in the Argentinian Superliga.
The visitors recent away games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of the last eight away games.
Forebet predicts that Santa Fe will record a victory in Buenos Aires to move to second in the table.
