Vélez Sarsfield receives Banfield, in a match in which both teams, with an irregular campaign, will try to return to victory in the Professional Football League (LPF).
The meeting for the 23rd appointment. It will be played from 9:30 pm at the José Amalfitani stadium, with arbitration by Darío Herrera and broadcast by TNT Sports.
Vélez Sarsfield lost Sunday at the Bombonera to Boca Juniors (1-0) and will try to increase further to come out of the penultimate position in the standings, with just 16 units.
Banfield, who will play one of the semi-finals of the Argentine Cup, drew at home against Godoy Cruz (1-1) and has not won in three dates of the tournament, which sees him in 20th place with 26 points.
For “Drill”, it will also be one of the last opportunities to enter the fight for entry into the Copa Sudamericana since with 45 points and eight from the qualifying zone, when fifteen remain in contention.
Liniers’ team, led by Uruguayan Alexander “Cacique” Medina, suffered another defeat – the ninth in the league – and will have two casualties due to the expulsion of defenders Francisco Ortega and Valentín Gómez.
Banfield adds four games without losing against Vélez with three wins and one draw, but the record is dominated by the Liniers team with 44 wins in 96 games, against 22 for “Drill” and 30 draws.
