Week 1 brings us a match on Jun 4th where Patronato will play host to Vélez Sarsfield in a meeting of these two Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Patronato recorded a 0-1 loss against Defensa y Justicia. Adonis Frías scored the first goal for Defensa y Justicia in the 55th minute on a penalty kick, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Patronato was frustrated by Defensa y Justicia’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Defensa y Justicia ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, Vélez Sarsfield recorded a 2-1 win against Colón. Osorio struck first for Vélez Sarsfield in the 5th minute, then Ramón Ábila tied it up for Colón in the 65th minute. Vélez Sarsfield is looking for direction having earned 14 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 Vélez Sarsfield won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Vélez Sarsfield’s most prolific scorer has been Lucas Janson. The Argentinian attacker has netted three goals over the last 5 matches. Axel Rodríguez has been the most prolific scorer on Patronato in the last five matches with 2 goals.
