Velez Sarsfield will entertain Argentinos Juniors on Tuesday in round 20 of the Argentinian Liga Professional. Sarsfiled come to this match in 23rd place in the standings, 11 places below 12 placed Argentinos. Only goal difference is separating Sarsfield from the relegation places. Ricardo Gareca's charges have amassed 18 points from 18 matches and are tied with four other teams. They will seek to peel further away from the drop zone with a win here. Sarsfield come to this match off the back of a 5-1 win over Deportivo Espanol in the Copa Argentina. The win ended a 10-game run without a win with four of those matches ending in defeat. El Fortin have racked up 13 points when playing at home this season where they have proved hard to beat. They are unbeaten in seven fixtures in front of home support with the last five ending in draws.

Argentinos Juniors are faring much better than Sarsfield and are in the race to seal qualification for continental football. Gabriel Milito's charges have played 19 matches and have racked up 26 points. They remain three points adrift of the Copa Sudamericana places. El Bicho arrives for this match having won their last two fixtures. Last time out they beat Uruguay's Liverpool 2-1 in the Copa Libertadores. Argentinos have won the last two matches against Sarsfield but they haven't won away in four visits and have lost three times. Considering that they have stuttered while playing away, Argentinos will need to be at their best to avoid another defeat here. El Semillero del Mundo have won only one of their last four away games and lost their last away fixture.
