Vélez is currently languishing in 28th position, accumulating just 8 points from 2 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses. Their last outing saw them edge past Atlético Tucumán (1-2), followed by a disappointing home defeat to Deportivo Restra (0-1). They have demonstrated little impact from home advantage, replicating similar results both home and away – in their last 30 games, they registered 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses on the road, with 17 goals scored and 21 conceded. Defensive weaknesses are evident, having conceded in 7 of their last 10 matches, while their attack has struggled significantly, scoring in only 2 matches out of the last 10 fixtures of the competition. Furthermore, they have found it challenging to take the lead, having scored first only once in their last 11 games.
Following a brief resurgence, Vélez has suffered yet another setback in their campaign. It is crucial for them to maintain a strong mental attitude going forward, as they require a swift turnaround to avoid complications in the Group B table.
