Top Betting Tips for Upcoming Matches

Quick Tips:

• Velez -1.5 @ 1.99
• Boca -0.5 @ 1.81

Velez vs Sarmiento

Velez Sarsfield once again couldn’t capitalize on an opportunity to consolidate their lead in the league. Their most recent outing, a 0-0 draw against Godoy Cruz, extended their unbeaten streak to eight games in the league. However, with six of those matches ending in draws, their failure to secure consistent victories makes them vulnerable at the top. They currently lead the Liga Profesional with 45 points, a narrow two-point cushion over Huracan with three games to go.

On the bright side, Velez has been a fortress at home. Unbeaten in their last 17 home matches (12 wins, 5 draws), they are a formidable side at their venue. Additionally, they edged past Boca Juniors in the Copa Argentina semi-finals with a thrilling 4-3 victory, showing they are capable of high-scoring affairs. Defensively, they will likely include returning players Emanuel Mammana or Damian Fernandez in place of Patricio Pernicone as the team seeks improvements post-suspension.

In contrast, Sarmiento managed to snap a seven-match winless streak with a narrow 1-0 victory over Platense, delivering a boost to morale under coach Javier Sanguinetti. Despite this, they sit at the bottom of the Liga Profesional aggregate table and struggle mightily away from home with no victories in their last nine road games (3 draws, 6 losses).

For Velez, this is a must-win situation. They are up against one of the weakest sides in the division and cannot afford to falter with the league title on the line. Expect them to dominate and secure a convincing victory.

BET: Velez -1.5 @ 1.99

Boca vs Gimnasia

Boca Juniors were strategic over the weekend, putting up a reserve squad against league rivals Huracan and securing an important 0-0 draw. The result extended their unbeaten league streak to four games (3 wins, 1 draw) and fortified their position in the Copa Libertadores standings with 35 points.

Having been solid at home, Boca remains unbeaten in their last four domestic matches at their stadium (3 wins, 1 draw). However, their recent 4-3 loss to Velez Sarsfield in the Copa Argentina reminded them of vulnerabilities in tight matches. Boca now needs to refocus to ensure a strong finish in the league.

On the other side, Gimnasia LP approaches this fixture on the back of a 1-0 victory over Atletico Tucuman, keeping their faint hopes of continental qualification alive. With 32 points, they sit just four points shy of a Copa Sudamericana berth. However, their away form remains a challenge, as they have now gone five without a win on the road (4 draws, 1 loss).

For Boca, the aim is clear: win and secure their Libertadores spot for 2025. Playing at home against an inconsistent Gimnasia side, they should be motivated enough to get the job done.

BET: Boca -0.5 @ 1.81
