The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Velez Sarsfield are in the 9th position while the guests worry at 18th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Vélez Sarsfield form and stats
When playing at home in the Superliga, Vélez Sarsfield have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 7 games. Vélez Sarsfield have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
L. Fernandez was the last player to score a league goal for Vélez Sarsfield and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Vélez Sarsfield haven't scored in 368 minutes.

Colón form and stats
The manager P. Lavallén is not happy with the away performances in the Superliga so far, as all 5 matches have been lost. Bitter travels for Colón as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Huracán match.
Colón are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Superliga against Estudiantes (placed 8th). Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Independiente del Valle's place.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Colón as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. The Colón manager P. Lavallén has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
