Newell's Old Boys vs Vélez Sársfield Match Preview
One of the most important matches this week will face two teams fighting to join the top fight, which stands more than five points away. The Leprosos have hit a rather rocky patch during the last weeks. They couldn't take advantage of the momentum defeating the leader gave them, and now only a victory would give them an opportunity to get back on track. Rolando Schiavi has returned to the starting eleven, and with him Newell's best eleven will be ready to receive the Fortin at home. Agustin Alayes, Nahuel Roselli and Leonel Vangioni will probable be sidelined due to the decrease on their performance during the last weeks, and it seems no one is safe within the squad when every point means a world.
After some success in the Copa Libertadores, Velez will have to travel to Rosario eager for a victory, as the top has escaped from their hands. Santiago Silva has shown he's an invaluable key in this tournament, and the young Uruguayan striker is ready to show he's decided to lift the title once again. Their last match away caused a big disappointment, as no one expected them to return pointless from Paternal, but now they've to be confident for this match, as a defeat could take them to the lower levels of this packed tournament.
