Vélez Sarsfield vs CA Central Córdoba

Short pick: Velez -1 @ 1.89

Vélez Sarsfield arrive having thrown away a two-goal lead last weekend and lost 3-2 away to Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza, a result that compounds a difficult run but still leaves them top of Group A. Their home form is solid (10 points from 15) and they have recent cup form after a 4-1 Copa Argentina win. Lucas Robertone is back available after a muscle issue, which strengthens the midfield.

Central Córdoba are sliding in form — a 3-1 home defeat to Newell’s continued a worrying sequence and they remain without an away win in seven league matches (three draws, four losses). Squad problems increase their vulnerability: their starting goalkeeper Alan Aguerre plus defenders Pignani and Maciel are suspended for this fixture.

Why the bet: Vélez are the stronger side at home, have squad reinforcements returning and face an away team with defensive absences and a poor run. The -1 handicap offers value given the gap in form and personnel.

Bet: Velez -1 @ 1.89

Lanús vs Banfield

Short pick: Over 2 goals @ 1.79

Lanús were held to a 0-0 at home by Platense but remain in the mix for the playoffs, having lost just once in five league matches (three wins, one draw). Their home results are mixed but manageable (two wins, two draws, one defeat in the Apertura). Midweek they lost 1-0 in the Copa Libertadores to Mirassol, but key players Ramiro Carrera (suspension) and Walter Bou (recovered) are available, so squad rotation is unlikely to be heavy for this derby.

Banfield have struggled lately — a 3-2 defeat to Argentinos Juniors was their third loss in four league games, and they sit on a six-match winless run away from home. With playoff hopes fading, this match is important for them as well.

Why the bet: This derby should be competitive: both teams are capable of scoring but have defensive vulnerabilities. Given the teams’ recent trends and the importance of the fixture for both sides, expecting at least three goals is reasonable.

Bet: Over 2 goals @ 1.79
