The match will take place from 5 p.m., at the José Amalfitani stadium, with arbitration by Andrés Merlos and transmission by ESPN Premium.
Vélez (7 points) and Huracán (4) have been fighting since the defining match played on July 5, 2009 in which the Liniers team became champions with a goal from Maximiliano Moralez and left the team at the door directed by Ángel Cappa.
That is why, although it is not a classic, every time they face each other the fans ask for something extra from the rest of the championship matches.
In addition, Huracán began the tournament with a bad streak of three defeats and a draw that already put Facundo Sava’s position as coach in check.
The main failure so far is the defensive issue, to the point that in the defeat against Gimnasia de La Plata (3-1) they suffered goals with childish positioning errors.
The absence of Fernando Tobio, due to a muscle discomfort, added more uncertainty and his replacement will be Guillermo Burdisso. The positive thing is that he ruled out a tear and would reappear against San Lorenzo in Parque Patricios.
The fear of the ‘burning’ leadership is to suffer again with the relegation by general table, which was conditioned throughout last season, between errors in hiring coaches and players with little experience, and that is why they set the deadline next two dates: Vélez and San Lorenzo.
The situation is different in Vélez, which started the championship poorly (two losses and a draw) and suffered a harsh reproach from the fans after the 5-0 defeat against River on the third round, but in the last two games they recovered ( 3-1 vs. Gimnasia and 2-1 vs. Riestra) and his coach Gustavo Quinteros took a breath.
Vélez’s drawback is the average, with only two points ahead of Unión de Santa Fe (100), although Riestra – divided by a season – is last at the moment.
