- Competition: Torneo Betano
- Date: Wednesday, 20th November, 2024
- Kickoff: 22:15 UK / 23:15 CET
- Venue: Estadio José Amalfitani (Buenos Aires)
Velez Sarsfield are looking for their 11th league title and their first since the 2012/13 season. The last two years were a disappointment as they finished 26th and 25! But this year, they are looking good as they reached the finals in Copa de la Liga and are on the right path to securing the title in Liga Profesional. They are at the top spot with 43 points in 22 rounds but only a point away from the second-placed Huracan. With only five rounds left, every match is highly important. Additionally, Velez did great in the Copa Argentina, reaching the Semi-Finals, where they will face Boca Juniors on 28th November.
Meanwhile, Lanus came to this season after a good one where they finished 4th and secured the Copa Libertadores. They had a solid run in Copa Libertadores, reaching the Semi-Finals, where Cruzerio eliminated them in a pretty close duel. However, in the domestic league, they were far from impressive as they are in 18th with 27 points in 22 rounds. Still, when it comes to an aggregate table, Lanus are only three points away from the Copa Sudamericana spots. So, they, too, will have a massive motive in these remaining games.
Velez Sarsfield vs Lanus pick: Under 2.5 goals
Velez Sarsfield have had some problems lately, winning only one game in the last five, so we are reluctant to take a bet on them winning, regardless of their excellent home record. However, we can see a pattern of constant low-scoring games lately. Their last six games finished with fewer than three goals.
Lanus have heavily improved defensively in recent games. They allowed just one goal in the last three games, and we expect another good performance. On the other hand, they are not a team that has a potent offense, considering they scored one or zero goals just once in the last 15 games!
In the previous h2h game, Velez Sarsfield won 1:0. Considering the previous h2h game and all the above, and under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this tie.

Vélez Sarsfield team news
A starting right full-back, Joaquin Garcia, received his fifth yellow card in the previous game and will serve his one-game suspension against Lanus. With him out, Tomas Guidara will most likely get the opportunity to start.
Besides injured Garcia, the team will miss Santiago Caseres and Michael Santos, who are out with long-term injuries.

Lanús team news
Leonardo Jara is the newest name on the injury list. The right full-back suffered an injury late in the previous game against Platense. That is a massive problem, considering they have six injured players on the team - Leandro Nicolas Diaz, Nery Dominguez, Raul Loaiza, Abel Luciatti, Nicolas Morgantini, and Ramiro Carrera.
