Godoy Cruz, one of the animators of the Professional Football League (LPF), receives a Vélez Sarsfield focused on the Copa Libertadores at the start of the eleventh round.
The match is played from 20:00 at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium in Mendoza, with arbitration by Pablo Echavarría and ESPN Premium television.
In the VAR there will be Nicolás Lamolina and Lucas Novelli.
La Tomba is sixth with 17 points and with last Monday’s defeat in his visit to Unión de Santa Fe (2-1) cut a seven-game unbeaten run between the tournament and the Copa Argentina.
Vélez, with just 8 points, drew Monday in Liniers against Huracán (1-1) and must return to victory before receiving Talleres on Wednesday for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores.
The “Fortín” celebrated for the last time in the victory over River Plate (1-0) in Liniers, in the first leg of the first knockout round of the Libertadores.
In the Cup, the team led by Uruguayan Alexander “Cacique” Medina will host Talleres de Córdoba next Wednesday at 21:30 in the first leg of the quarter-finals.
The record between Vélez and Godoy Cruz favors those of Liniers who won 11 of the 22 games played, against 7 of “Tomba” and four draws.
