River Plate vs Velez Sarsfield Prediction (04.05.2025)

River Plate are in excellent form and will try to extend their unbeaten streak to eight matches. The 2-1 victory over Boca in the derby solidified their third place and left them four points behind the top. Their home form is also stable, with 17 points won out of a possible 24, and in the last match against Velez at the same stadium, the two teams ended in a draw.

The visitors achieved a narrow 1-0 victory over Gimnasia in the last round, reaching 11th place in the standings. They have three wins in their last six matches, and although their performance as guests is fluctuating, they have already proven that they can stand up to River, as seen in their previous 1-1 draw at the "El Monumental" stadium.

River are the favorites, but Velez showed that they can hold their own in an equal match against this opponent. Their victory in the last round and the draw in their previous visit to this stadium suggest that they can stay in the game. The handicap in their favor seems like a reasonable choice.
