Preview of the Racing vs. Vélez Sarsfield match
Racing Club comes into this match after suffering a resounding 2-0 defeat against Godoy Cruz de Mendoza. The team led by Fernando Gago needs the 3 points against Vélez in order to keep up with the other teams at the top of the league.
"We need to forget about what happened and focus on what's coming. It's always important to win at the start of a championship, but we can't ignore what happened last matchday. We need to strengthen the confidence within the group, and the way to do it is by winning. We need to get used to achieving positive results," said Gago in the pre-match press conference against Vélez.
Racing Club is currently in 15th place with 3 points. A victory by the 'Academia' team would place them at the top of the table, hoping for Newell's or Platense to stumble.
On the other hand, Vélez Sarsfield comes into this match after suffering a 1-0 defeat at home, in front of their fans, against the surprise of the tournament: Platense. The team led by Uruguayan coach Alexander Medina needs to recover the lost points at home, as they only have 1 out of 6 possible points.
The team from the neighborhood of Liniers is currently in 25th place. An away victory would allow them to escape from the difficult situation they are going through and make a statement.
