Vélez Sarsfield Olimpia betting prediction

After 2 wins and 1 loss, the home team is currently in the 1^st position, with 6 points won. In the last match, they have lost (2‑1) in an away match against San Antonio Bulo Bulo, after in the previous round they have won (0‑4) in an away match against Olimpia. They come to this match after a away loss against River Plate by (4‑1). Vélez has won 4, tied 1 and lost 5 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. 21 of their last 25 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 8 of their 18 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Vélez Sarsfield hosts Olimpia in the 4th round of the CONMEBOL Libertadores group stage, looking to confirm its favoritism as the home team and take an important step towards qualifying. The Argentine team, despite currently occupying third place in the group with three points, has been showing collective improvement. Its coach prioritizes a balanced approach between solid defense and quick offensive transitions, usually using schemes such as 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, which allow the team to control the midfield and activate the forwards at speed. The last match ended in a draw, a result that left Vélez under pressure to score points in this round, especially in front of its fans. On the national scene, Vélez has had an average performance, but maintains its tradition of being competitive at home. The expectation is for a team looking to take the lead, pressuring the opponent from the start and mainly exploiting the flanks of the field to create goal situations.

Confirmed Lineup: Tomás Marchiori, Elías Gómez, Emanuel Mammana, Jano Gordon, Diego Valentín Gómez, Claudio Baeza, Agustín Bouzat, Christian Nahuel Ordoñez, Braian Romero, Maher Mauricio Carrizo, Francisco Pizzini.
