Vélez Sarsfield vs Sarmiento prediction and betting tips on December 2, 2024
Game Prediction
In the 25th round of the Argentine Primera División, on December 2, 2024, Vélez Sarsfield vs Sarmiento will take place. The hosts, aiming to maintain their lead, must secure a victory against one of the league's outsiders.
Our prediction for the match Vélez Sarsfield vs Sarmiento
"Fortín" had a disastrous season last year, finishing 25th out of 28 teams in the league. Meanwhile, "Los Verdes" fared a little better, ending in the lower half of the table, securing the 19th spot.
However, 2024 has been a much improved year for Vélez Sarsfield. They performed well in the Trofeo Diego Maradona, reaching the playoff final, where they lost to Estudiantes. Undeterred by that setback, the club is now battling for the title in the Primera. Although, recently, many of their matches have ended in draws, including a recent stalemate with Godoy Cruz. However, Vélez managed to defeat Boca Juniors 4-3 in the cup, showing their ability to compete in high-pressure matches.
On the other hand, the team from Junín, Sarmiento, has had a poor season overall. In the spring, they only gathered nine points in their last fourteen matches in the Trofeo Diego Maradona. In the Primera, their form has been even worse, with only Newell's Old Boys performing worse. In their last match, however, they managed to win 1-0 against Platense, which gave them a much-needed boost.
