Vélez look to bounce back after Copa Libertadores exit | OneFootball

Vélez will host Atlético Tucumán this Monday, seeking a victory that will keep them at the top of Zone B after being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores.

At the José Amalfitani Stadium, Vélez will host Atlético Tucumán on Monday at 8 PM. El Fortín will look to move past their Copa Libertadores elimination and continue climbing in the standings, while El Decano wants to take advantage of the momentum after their win against River.

How Vélez and Atlético Tucumán arrive at the match for the Torneo Clausura

Vélez will try to turn the page after being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores following a loss to Racing in a series where the VAR rightly disallowed two goals. In the league, where they have only lost one match, El Fortín is coming off a win against San Martín (SJ) and has already accumulated 18 points, making them one of the main contenders.

Aaron Quirós will be out due to suspension. On the other hand, FIFA has suspended Imanol Machuca for a year as a result of an investigation against the Malaysian Federation for forgery. Vélez will seek to appeal (they have 10 days), but the chances of overturning the decision seem slim. The player’s camp claims to have all the paperwork in order.

At their home stadium, Atlético Tucumán recently defeated River 2-0 with goals from Clever Ferreira and Leandro Díaz, returning to victory after two consecutive losses. “Hopefully the group continues to improve day by day, we need to keep strengthening our collective performances so that the internal competition we promote keeps growing,” said Lucas Pusineri after the win against El Millonario in the press conference. If there are no issues, the coach would repeat the lineup.

Probable lineups

Vélez: Tomás Marchiori; Agustín Lagos, Emanuel Mammana, Lisandro Magallan, Elías Gómez; Tomás Galvan, Claudio Baeza, Agustín Bouzat; Dilan Godoy, Braian Romero, and Matías Pellegrini. Coach: Guillermo Barros Schelotto.
