It's advantage Vélez Sarsfield so far with their 1st position in the Superliga table, welcoming Huracán who are placed 7th.
- Vélez Sarsfield have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Superliga
- Huracán have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (2) in Superliga
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
