In the upcoming fixture of the Argentine Primera Division, Matchday 3, Velez Sarsfield will take on Club Atletico Independiente at the Estadio José Amalfitani in Buenos Aires. Velez stands 14th with a win and three points, whereas Independiente is on the 17th spot. As this is just a start to the Primera Division, teams aren’t focusing much on the goal difference factor. However, it’s best for both to maximize their strengths and register early wins in the contest. The last time these two teams played each other, Independiente won 0-2, however, this time around we can expect the home favorites to clinch a win.

Velez Sarsfield - Coming off a Defeat Against Newell’s (LWWLW)

After starting the season with a comprehensive win over Gimnasia LP (3-1), Velez couldn’t stay consistent just as the previous season, and lost to Newell’s. However, the upcoming home fixture will be an opportunity for Velez, as they have won their 6 previous home matches. With a goal scoring average of 1.70 goals and a conceding average of just 0.70 goals in the last 10 home games, Velez are likely to secure a decent win. Moreover, Velez has won an average of 58% possession in its last 10 home games, reflecting Velez’s game presence in home fixtures.

Expected Opening Lineup for Velez Sarsfield

Leonardo Burian, Tomás Guidara, Lautaro Gianetti, Miguel Brizuela, Francisco Ortega, Nicolás Garayalde, Juan Ignacio Méndez, Walter Bou, José Florentín, Lucas Janson, Lucas Pratto.

Club Atletico Independiente - Will Miss Out Javier Ostachuk (LWWDD)

Going in the matchup, Club Atletico Independiente is coming off a defeat against Club Atletico Platense (1-2), in which Martin Cauteruccio scored the only goal for Independiente and that too on a penalty kick. With 69% overall possession in the last game, Club Independiente was spot on, however, it had just 2 shots on target. For the upcoming away game, Independiente averages just 1.40 goals per game in the last 10 away fixtures, Hence, it is likely that Independiente will exercise similar gameplay. Moreover, its conceding average is just 1.00 goals, which is very acceptable considering the away pressure.

Expected Opening Lineup for Club Atletico Independiente

Rodrigo Rey, Cristian Javier Báez, Sergio Barreto, Edgar Elizalde, Ayrton Costa, Agustín Mulet, Kevin López, Rodrigo Márquez, Tomás Pozzo, Juan Cazares, Matías Giménez Rojas.

Expert Betting Tips

In 39 matches played between the two quality sides, Velez has won 13, whereas Independiente has stood successful in 12 outings. Hence, the upcoming matchup will be quite competitive and scoring goals won't be easy. Spectators and fans should be prepared for a low scoring match that could get interesting in the lateral phase of play. The goal scoring average of Velez against Independiente is 1.08, whereas Indepediente averages 0.90 goals against Velez. Hence, I am predicting both teams to score, and the match to end in a draw (1-1).
