Velez Sarsfield vs Independiente
📖 The Preview
Velez are the team to back here. They're sitting third and desperate to break into the top two, so the motivation is absolutely there, and with home advantage, they've got everything to play for. Their recent form is solid enough, and at 52% likely winners, they're the clear favourite. Independiente have been decent themselves, mind you, but the model sees this as a tight, low-scoring affair where Velez control proceedings and nick it 2-0 without really being troubled.
