The two Argentine clubs have met three times since 2024. Both sides won one game each, while one game ended in a draw. With an average of two goals per game, it was clear that entertainment levels were low.
Deportivo Riestra team overview
Deportivo Riestra have made a comeback in the second part of the campaign, having finished the first phase in 5th place.
The Malevos of Pompeya have only lost two games in the second half of the season, boasting seven wins, and have scored the second-highest number of goals in Group B.
Last weekend, they hosted River Plate, hoping to secure their fifth consecutive win for the first time since 2018. Remarkably, they achieved this feat despite possessing only 17% of the ball.
Eric Tovo remains out with a cruciate ligament tear, and the hosts will also be without Rodrigo Gallo, who has been dealing with an ankle problem.

Velez Sarsfield team overview
Velez Sarsfield have already won the Supercopa Argentina this season but their inconsistency has been one of their major downfalls. After their victory in the final, the visitors went on a two-match winless streak before beating San Martín 2:1 over two weeks ago in the league.
They then suffered a 1-0 defeat to Racing Club but returned to winning ways against Atlético Tucumán last time out.
Aarón Quirós will serve the final match of his three-match ban for the red card he received against San Martín, while Joaquín García, Jano Gordón, Tomás Cavanagh and Manuel Lanzini are dealing with injuries.

Prediction
Vélez Sarsfield have every right to be optimistic about their chances of success having lost only two of their last eleven games across all competitions, but they have struggled to secure a win against Deportivo Riestra, who won one and drew one of the last two meetings between the two sides.
Riestra will be aware that Vélez Sársfield have been inconsistent lately, while I do not expect the hosts to win by such a large margin, they should ultimately find a way to win 1–0 in Buenos Aires.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Six of the last nine meetings between Riestra and Velez Sarsfield ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Only two of the last seven games of Riestra produced three or more goals.
- Bets on under 2.5 goals won in each of the last two meetings between Riestra and Sarsfield.
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
