Match Preview

Vélez Sarsfield hosts Fortaleza in a crucial Copa Libertadores clash at the Estadio José Amalfitani on Tuesday night. The home side comes into this match with a mixed bag of results, having recorded two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five outings. In contrast, Fortaleza has struggled significantly, failing to secure a victory in their last five matches, which includes three defeats. This disparity in form could play a pivotal role as Vélez looks to capitalise on their home advantage. Historically, encounters between these two teams have been tightly contested, with Vélez winning just once in their last ten meetings, and no games featuring over 2.5 goals or both teams scoring. Given Fortaleza's current struggles and Vélez's solid home record, the odds of 1.9 for a home win appear attractive. However, considering the lack of goals in their previous matchups, a bet on under 2.5 goals at 2.6 could also be worth exploring, particularly if both teams continue to find the net elusive.
