This Copa Libertadores quarterfinal features an Argentine duel between Velez Sarsfield and Racing Club, two teams that know each other very well. Velez Sarsfield will be looking to take an early lead in the first leg at their José Amalfitani stadium in Buenos Aires.
Velez Sarsfield, third in Group B of the Torneo Betano (four wins, three draws, one defeat), earned a valuable point away to Huracán (0-0) on September 13, despite being a man down from the 30th minute following the sending off of Lagos. Barros Schelotto's side remains on a roll, having won its previous five matches against Independiente (2-1), Fortaleza (2-0) in the Copa Libertadores, Godoy Cruz (0-2), Lanus (3-0), and Central Cordoba (2-0) on neutral ground in the Argentine Super Cup final on September 6. Unbeaten in seven matches, Velez Sarsfield can secure a spot in the semifinals with a win.
Racing Club, ranked only 14th out of 15 in Group A of the Torneo Betano (2 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses), defeated San Lorenzo (2-0) on Saturday thanks to goals from Colombo and Solari. This victory ended a run of two consecutive defeats, away to Argentinos (4-1) and then at home to Union Santa Fe (2-3) on September 1. With four defeats in their last six games in all competitions, the results for Adrian Martinez's teammates, the Copa Libertadores' top scorer with six goals, have been disappointing in recent weeks.

Our Velez Sarsfield vs Racing Club Avellaneda Prediction
Velez Sarsfield is very strong at its José Amalfitani stadium, where the club has already performed well in this Copa Libertadores against Penarol (2-1), Olimpia Asuncion (1-1), SA Bulo Bulo (3-0), and Fortaleza (2-0). Unbeaten in five matches in this competition, Maher Carrizo's teammates, the third-highest scorers in this Copa Libertadores, will be looking to take the lead in their stadium, where they have not lost in eight home games (six wins and two draws). Defeated by Penarol (1-0) in the first leg of the round of 16, Racing Club could face another disappointment away from their Juan Domingo Peron stadium.
