Instituto (LLWDD)

The Instituto team comes to this game after suffering its 2nd consecutive defeat. The Platense team was always the most dominant, with plenty of goal opportunities. However, the Instituto's goalkeeper, Carranza, made an absolutely monstrous display. But when it was no longer expected, Instituto conceded a goal in the 90+3 minute, in an unstoppable shot for the goalkeeper. In addition to this defeat, on matchday 9 the Instituto team suffered its 1st home defeat, in the derby against Talleres Cordoba. With this series of bad results, the Instituto team fell to 16th place, with 13 points. However, they are just 1 point behind Vélez, and a win could easily catapult them up the table.

Vélez Sarsfield (DDWDW)

Vélez's team conceded a disappointing draw in the last round, against Banfield (3-3). Disappointing as the team came to be winning by 3-1, and in the last 10 minutes they let themselves be tied. Despite this, Vélez's team has now gone 5 games without losing, adding 2 wins and 3 draws. The team has the 2nd best attack in the league, with an impressive 15 goals scored. The problem is that they are a team that also concedes a lot of goals, having conceded 10 goals so far. If the Vélez team manages to reorganize itself defensively, it can easily fight for higher places in the table.
