What to expect
We expect about 1.4 goals from Velez Sarsfield and 0.6 from Platense, so Velez Sarsfield come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.0 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.
Platense come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Not both teams to score. This shapes up as a quiet, low-key game — around 2.0 goals between the two (xG 1.4-0.6). One side keeping it tight for a clean sheet is well on the cards.
We put the chance of that landing at about 57 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.61, which works out at about 62 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
