In the early hours of Monday morning, Velez Sarsfield will look to continue a promising recent run of form as they host Godoy Cruz in the Argentinian Primera Division.
Velez Sarsfield form guideThe home team head into this game after back-to-back 1-0 victories over Arsenal Sarandi and Lanus in the Argentinian top-flight. The victories were badly needed, as Velez currently lies in 22nd place in the Primera Division. However, the wins may lead to them climbing the Argentinian top-flight table.
Their recent outings in the Primera Division have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their previous ten matches.
A 1-0 win over Arsenal Sarandi ended Velez's six-game home winless run in the Argentinian top-flight. However, on the flip side, they have also lost just once in their last seven home matches in the Primera Division, as five of their previous seven home league matches have produced draws.
Godoy Cruz form guideThe visitors head into this game in relatively good form, as they are unbeaten in four competitive matches, having recorded three wins in the run. They have also been prolific in the recent good run of results, scoring at least two goals in three of the four games. The decent run of results has moved Godoy Cruz up to seventh place in the table.
If there is one negative for the visitors of late, it has been their away form, as they have failed to win any of their previous five games on their travels in the Argentinian Primera Division.
Their recent away games have been low-scoring, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous six matches.
What am I backing?Both teams have hit a decent patch of form of late in the Argentinian top flight. This could be a tight game, with few goals, so I am backing under 2.5 goals scored.
