With eyes on the Copa Libertadores, Vélez will receive Atlético Tucumán this Saturday at José Amalfitani in a duel in the sixth round of the Professional Football League. The match will start at 18:00, will be refereed by Yael Falcón Pérez and broadcast by TNT Sports.
After his team’s victory against River in the first leg of the first knockout rounds of the Libertadores, Alexander Medina will choose to rest most of the players who were starters in that game and who will surely make their gift again on Wednesday at the Monumental.
For their part, Tucuman’s team will arrive in Liniers under pressure from the media (only three points missing from the red zone), but also with a recent auspicious record: they are unbeaten in the competition. For this clash Lucas Pusineri will bring back the Bolivian goalkeeper Carlos Lampe and the striker Augusto Lotti.
