Velez Sarsfield come into this Clausura contest on a nine-match unbeaten run, and their strength at the Jose Amalfitani has been built on a resolute defence that has conceded just 0.6 goals per game at home. Tigre, meanwhile, are winless in three and have struggled for consistency on the road, though they carry a threat through the league's fourth-top scorer in Ignacio Russo. The midfield duel between Velez's patient build-up and Tigre's 4-4-2 block should dictate the tempo, and with both sides showing low-scoring trends this season, the first goal could prove decisive.
