The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vélez Sarsfield so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Sarsfield in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Defensa y Justicia.

Vélez Sarsfield have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 184 minutes ago. Ortega was the goal scorer.

Gianetti, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.03. Gianetti won 13 of 16 duels.
