Vélez Sarsfield and San Lorenzo meet in the league with both having played 14 matches, but they stand on opposite sides of the table. Vélez have collected 27 points, sitting 4th, while San Lorenzo have 18 points and are 18th. In this game the hosts need three points to stay in the title race, while the visitors must scrap for points to pull away from the bottom zone. Vélez come in on one of their best runs of the season, winning two in a row and having just thrashed their opponents 5-0 in the last match. They have scored 23 and conceded 13 over the 14 matches. San Lorenzo's overall picture is not great, with 5 wins and 6 losses, scoring only 7 goals, but they are unbeaten in their last three and have just won 2-1 at home followed by a 0-0 draw. A defense that has conceded 12 in 14 matches still gives the visitors a foundation to stand on. The pattern is likely to be the hosts dominating possession and pushing high, while San Lorenzo drop into a defensive block and wait for counter-attacking moments. The game will be decided by how quickly the hosts can break down a compact defense. If San Lorenzo can hold their defensive shape early and avoid conceding cheaply, the game could end tight or level, a result the visitors would accept.
