On Mar 7th, Vélez Sarsfield will play host to Estudiantes in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, a perfect day for football. 12th placed Vélez Sarsfield is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Huracán. Jhonatan Candia Hernández struck first for Huracán in the 38th minute on a penalty kick, then Matías Cóccaro Ferreira added another in the 41st minute on a feed from Jhonatan Candia Hernández At the end of 90 a dissapointed Vélez Sarsfield couldn’t manage to score, and Huracán took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Estudiantes recorded a 3-2 win against Arsenal de Sarandi. Matías Pellegrini struck first for Estudiantes in the 50th minute on a feed from Jorge Morel, then Joaquín Ibáñez tied it up for Arsenal de Sarandi in the 53rd minute , but luckily for Estudiantes it didn’t end there. They were able to keep scoring to earn themselves the victory. Estudiantes should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Estudiantes won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Estudiantes is glad to have Mauro Boselli in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored four goals. Enzo Martínez and Juan Martin Lucero are the top scorers for Vélez Sarsfield in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
