Five games unbeaten scoring 13 goals and conceding just twice highlights the incredible turnaround for Velez Sarsfield, which has coincided with the return of Thiago Almada. Almada's WhoScored average rating of 7.41 speaks volumes of his contribution for the hosts in recent weeks with three assists in six appearances. Fernando Gago's side were embarrassed at home to Godoy Cruz in a 4-1 loss last time out, making it 11 goals conceded in four games, a leaky defence giving them too much to do in an attacking sense. Despite the doom and gloom, Martin Cauteruccio is still managing to fire in front of goal with seven goals in 10 games so should the defence start to look solid, the goals are there to pick up wins once again. 3:1
Despite a 0-0 draw against lowly Gimnasia last time out will have been frustrating, but the form of Velez as of late will see them continue unchanged. Agustin Mulet continues to be a long-term absentee for Mauricio Pellegrino's side. Fernando Gago is under increasing pressure after yet another defeat against Godoy Cruz made it four in a row so more tweaks are expected to find a solution. Gaston Gil Romero returned against Godoy Cruz, but was hooked at half time and as such may well start on the bench here.
