League leaders Estudiantes L.P. face a stern test of their title credentials against a surging Velez Sarsfield side sitting just three points behind them.
Velez Sarsfield enter this fixture 3rd in the table on 28 points, firmly in the title race with 30 games still to play. They have become difficult to beat, maintaining a five-match unbeaten streak (W1, D4), which includes a hard-fought 1-1 draw away at Deportivo Riestra last time out and a 2-2 draw against River Plate.
Estudiantes L.P. currently control the title race from the summit with 31 points. However, their momentum has faltered significantly; they have suffered three defeats in their last five outings, including recent 0-2 losses to both Sarmiento Junin and Deportivo Riestra. They will be looking to rediscover the clinical edge that saw them thrash Gimnasia 4-0 earlier this month.
