A 1-1 draw in their last match against Independiente meant Velez Sarsfield had to settle for a share of the points.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Independiente, who had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target.  

When it comes to attacking power Gustavo Quinteros will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.  

Velez will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.

Atletico Tucuman had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Platense.  They came away from that fixture with a 65% share of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Platense, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.  

5 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games overall.  

With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.  

On an individual basis, Mateo Coronel will be looking to cause Velez Sarsfield some problems having scored 2 goals in Atletico Tucuman's last 6 away games in the league.
