Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – 1X and total goals under 3.5 – 1.60.
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Both to score – NO – 1.82.
Both teams are in a similar form. We think it will be a close match.
Despite the fact that Velez have failed to win 9 of their previous 10 league matches, we will be back the host’s double chance and total goals under 3.5 outcome.
In addition, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in Velez Sarsfield’s last 5 home matches.
In the previous 5 h2h meetings, BTTS happened only once.
Both teams are struggling to score recently, and there is a high probability of seeing a goalless draw.
The last confrontation between the two was the one that took place a few days ago, on July 7th. Velez Sarsfield eliminated River Plate in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores with a 1-0 score on aggregate.
Meanwhile, El Fortín had a poor start to the Liga Profesional 2022/23 season, picking up just one win in the seven games. Coming into this game, they have registered back-to-back defeats.

On the other hand, River Plate are also going through a bad period and registered three defeats in their previous five matches.
Being knocked out by Velez Sarsfield in the Copa Libertadores and suffering shock defeats to Huracan and Godoy Cruz has left questions over Marcelo Gallardo’s team’s current position.
Meanwhile, Los Millonarios have lost two key players, with Enzo Fernandez and Julian Alvarez leaving for Benfica and Manchester City, respectively. That’s, of course, affected by the team.
Velez Sarsfield: Hoyos; Jara, D. Fernandez, Gomez, Ortega; Orellano, Garayalde, Perrone, Janson; Pratto, Castro
River Plate: Armani; Gomez, Martinez, Maidana, Casco; Palavecino, Zuculini, Aliendro; Simon, Beltran, Barco
The last match between these teams ended in a goalless draw (07/07/2022)
