Arsenal are urgently looking for a local win this Sunday to improve their average against Vélez Sarsfield, recently knocked out of the Copa Libertadores semi-finals and sunk to the bottom of the league due to a bad season in the Professional Football League (LPF).
The match, corresponding to the 18th date, takes place at the Julio Humberto Grondona stadium in the city of Sarandí in Buenos Aires, with the arbitration of Sebastián Zino and the broadcast of ESPN Premium.
Arsenal focuses their attention on the average rankings, where they are at 25th. step, two above the relegations occupied by Patronato and Aldosivi respectively with 7 and 5 points less.
Sarandi’s team, led by Leonardo Madelón, has no options, just a win is enough to add an annual season full of draws (18).
Vélez, with Alexander Medina as DT, was enthusiastic about the Copa Libertadores, but a 1–6 aggregate against Flamengo from Brazil in the semi-finals put an end to that dream. In the LPF they are second to last with 12 units, one less than Lanús.
