“Fortín” is last in group C with just 2 points and will play a direct duel with Nacional, which is third with 4.
The Velez fans sold out the tickets they had available and will support the team in great numbers in the Gran Parque Central.
To arrive with chances of qualifying for the last date, the team led by Julio Vaccari needs help from Students who play tonight in Brazil against Bragantino (5), then beat “Pincha” in Liniers and that the Brazilians do not add against Nacional in Montevideo, at the end of the group stage.
In any case, the Liniers team can fight to finish third and continue their international participation in the Copa Sudamericana.
While negotiating for a new coaching staff, interim Vaccari continues to lead the team and will be able to count on Paraguayan José Florentín, who has already served the suspension date with his absence in the last 1-1 draw against Bragantino, in Brazil.
Nacional will have two important casualties since the goalkeeper and captain, Sergio Rochet, tested positive for Covid-19 in the tests required by Conmebol and the defender Leo Coelho is suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
In the attack will be the Argentine Emmanuel Gigliotti, who scored a brace in the 2-1 win at Liniers in the first round and on Saturday also scored one in the win over Defensor Sporting (2-0) for the Uruguayan tournament.
When do Nacional vs Vélez play?
The match will be played this Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. at the Gran Parque Central stadium in Montevideo, with Chilean Piero Maza as referee.
Where to watch Nacional vs Vélez
The duel between Uruguayans and Argentines will be televised by Fox Sports.
