Talleres

LLWDLW

Talleres enter this match coming off the back of a 0-0 Copa Libertadores draw vs Vélez Sarsfield.

Under three goals per game were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Talleres have been involved. In terms of the goal split from that period, opposition teams scored an aggregate of 7 and Talleres managed a tally of 6. Such a trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, though.

Vélez Sarsfield

DDDDWL

Vélez Sarsfield have regularly broken through opposing defences in their most recent fixtures, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 matches. While their manager Alexander Medina will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Vélez Sarsfield have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same clashes.

↔️ Head to head

Looking over their past head to head meetings going back to 17/09/2017 tells us that Talleres have won 1 of these & Vélez Sarsfield 2, with the tally of drawn games standing at 3.

11 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 5 of them from La T and 6 coming from El Fortín. The average number of goals per game works out to 1.83.

ℹ️ Team News: Talleres

The Talleres manager Pedro Caixinha will be thankful to have no fitness worries at all coming into this match owing to a completely healthy squad available for selection.

In all likelihood, La T will probably use a 4-4-1-1 formation for this one featuring Guido Herrera, G. Americo Benavidez, Matias Catalan, Rafael Perez, Enzo Hernan Diaz, Diego Valoyes, Rodrigo Garro, Rodrigo Villagra, Federico Girotti, Alan Franco and Francisco Pizzini.

ℹ️ Team News: Vélez Sarsfield

Out of a mainly available squad, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Vélez Sarsfield boss Alexander Medina to be concerned with. Lautaro Giannetti (Ruptured cruciate ligament) won’t be in action.

We reckon that El Fortín seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Lucas Hoyos, Leonardo Jara, Matias de los Santos, Valentin Gomez, Francisco Ortega, Maximo Perrone, Nicolas Garayalde, Luca Orellano, Walter Bou, Lucas Janson and Lucas Pratto.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Vélez Sarsfield will have their work cut out to score goals against this Talleres outfit who we think will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We therefore see a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Talleres at the end of the 90 minutes.

It should be a good one.
