Vélez Sarsfield and Platense have met for years, and most of their last six meetings ended with low-scoring scorelines. Some finished 0-0, others were decided by a single goal. This time the pattern may not be the same, because Vélez are in a spell where nobody can beat them. Vélez are still unbeaten in the league this season, and in their latest match they had just won an end-to-end affair. Platense, meanwhile, had just lost in the league with their attack not functioning, though they did have a cup win in between. Platense themselves have the clearer problem when it comes to conceding goals. This game will likely open with Platense sitting deep and waiting to counter, while Vélez will have more of the ball and gradually push the game up. The first half may still be tight because Platense won't open up, but in the second half, if Vélez still can't break through, the game could turn into one where Platense get more space to counter.
