Independent visits Vélez to Liniers with the intention of establishing itself as the leader of Group A of the Professional League Cup, after the victorious debut in Mendoza against the promoted Independiente Rivadavia. The match of the second round at the José Amalfitani stadium will begin at 9.30 pm with the refereeing of Hernán Mastrangelowitnessed by VAR by Fernando Echenique and broadcast by ESPN Premium.
The Red of Carlos Tevez started the season on the right foot by winning Leprosy Mendoza with Bautista Gargatini and will look to maintain that path in his second consecutive outing against a historically difficult rival.
Vélez is one of the few teams that maintains its superiority over Independiente in the professional era, with a record of 61 wins, 56 defeats and 58 draws in 175 matches for the AFA championship. The record is reversed by one match in favor of the Avellaneda club if the 15 matches recorded in the amateur phase are added.
Vélez will be a good move for Rojo, who will make his home debut next Saturday against Gimnasia and Esgrima La Plata.
Fortín is also looking for lost prominence in 2023, when the anguish of remaining in the first division dominated his reality until the last match against Colón de Santa Fe.
