Velez Sarsfield and Independiente are set to face off in a top-of-the-table clash in Liga Profesional. The two have had flying starts to the Clausura, winning their respective matches in the opening two rounds. Seven of the teams’ last 10 meetings had under three goals, and our prediction backs the same.

Velez will be looking to make the most of this home match even though they haven’t been all that stable at home. In Apertura, they won half of their eight home matches before falling at home in the playoffs.

Five of their latest six matches have been at home. Four saw under 2.5 goals scored, while El Fortin didn’t score more than once in the last three home games.

While Velez are coming off a 3-1 win against Talleres Cordoba, Independiente saw off Newell’s Old Boys. The visitors’ 1-0 win was also their second straight clean sheet in the league and third overall.

Independiente will hope to carry the same defensive solidity, as that has in part contributed to their current run of seven wins in 10 matches. Los Diablos Rojos finished fifth in the Apertura and will be eyeing another top-eight position in Zone A.

They will, however, want to improve on their away form, having managed two wins in the eight league matches in Apertura.

Our Velez Sarsfield vs Independiente Prediction

Across all competitions, only seven goals were scored in these teams’ last five meetings that were hosted by Velez. From their opening two league matches, the two sides registered a combined three clean sheets. Also, only one of their total four matches at the start of Clausura returned over 2.5 goals.

With their recent matches dominated by low xG and seven of the last 10 meetings having returned two goals or less, we expect a low-scoring affair here. Our prediction for Velez Sarsfield v Independiente is: less than 2.5 goals.
