by Stephen Abiola in Copa Libertadores Picks
Argentine side Velez Sarsfield will look to bundle out Brazilian side Fortaleza from the 2025 Copa Libertadores competition. Velez Sarsfield are technically one foot into the quarterfinals after playing out to a goalless draw at Fortaleza in the first leg. They were defensively sound throughout the night despite seeing only 36% of the ball. A win on Tuesday night could boost their odds of winning this competition since they last did it in 1994.
Fortaleza, on the other hand, will know that the job can only get harder after blowing their chance to win at home on Tuesday night. The Brazilians qualified for the knockout rounds of this competition after finishing as runners-up to Racing Club in Group E. Renato Paiva and his side will be keen to maximize their underdog status and possibly stun the hosts. Still, the general feeling is that they could be on their way out of this year's edition.

Our Velez Sarsfield vs Fortaleza Prediction
We expect Fortaleza's head coach, Renato Paiva, to play on the counter with a solid defensive plan. They'll be keen to rattle Velez Sarsfield, who have been inconsistent in their recent matches. The Argentines did not win any of their last four games, collecting three draws in the process. However, Fortaleza will be without their dependable midfielder, Matheus Rossetto, who got the marching orders in the first leg after receiving the second yellow. Velez Sarsfield will be eager to start strongly and punish the visitors early before they grow into the match. We see a 2-0 or 3-0 win for the home team.
Our prediction for Velez Sarsfield vs Fortaleza: Valenz Sarsfield to win.
