Velez Sarsfield vs San Lorenzo Prediction: What’s happening with Velez?

The fourth round of the Torneo Betano 2025 sets the stage for an exciting clash as Vélez Sarsfield hosts San Lorenzo. Both teams are fighting to bounce back and claim important points in this tight league.

Velez Sarsfield (LLL)

This is a match for a difficult Vélez Sarsfield since they lost 2-0 against Instituto in the third round. Vélez’s best performances were when they dominated possession with 61% and generated 10 shots, but they only had one on target in the match. They conceded in both halves and defensively defending, they let Instituto capitalise off their counter attacks. Not much was contributed by the Vélez attacking duo of Romero and Bouzat in the final third as they search for answers. Vélez needs to forgo the lack of efficiency in the attacking side and yes, a tougher defensive blocking side.

San Lorenzo (DWW)

River Plate they lost 0-0 to rivals San Lorenzo in their last game. They spent the game with 36 per cent of the possession but they defended deep as River Plate mustered just three shots on target. The clean sheet was largely down to goalkeeper Batalla, the backline and the strength they showed in withstanding River's attacking intensity. In front, San Lorenzo was unable to create clear cut opportunities, and the team only had 9 attempts with only 3 on target. Perhaps this encounter will be crucial for how they can absorb pressure and counter attack.

Expert Betting Tips

Vélez have adopted a possession, buildup style, and San Lorenzo a defensive organization and counter attack style. This match does also follow on from previous encounters where their matches have often been also tightly contested. With Vélez Sarsfield’s possession and quality, they could do enough to create chances, but their inability to find the net has been their issue. San Lorenzo also put in a solid defensive performance, as well as sound tactics, which makes them a team to break down. Vélez are likely to take a draw, but it will be a narrowly won one if they convert their chances.
