Four games without a victory for Independiente is a major concern for Julio César Falcioni, who has seen his side drop off a cliff in recent weeks. As ever Alan Velasco will be the man the hosts look to as a creative spark with four assists so far this season, but in recent weeks he has failed to step up when others around him are not at the required level. A tiresome contest last time out against Union, suffering a 4-3 defeat at home for Sarmiento, will have been a disappointment off the back of successive victories and they will want a quick reaction here. That being said scoring three goals in a game back-to-back will be a real positive given the lack of attacking output before then throughout the season. 2:2
