👉 Our prediction is: Fortaleza win or draw

Even though Fortaleza will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Fortaleza to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Fortaleza does have its share of flaws, but Vélez Sarsfield has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Fortaleza.

👉 Our prediction is: Vélez Sarsfield to win

In all honesty, there is no other result we can foresee for this match other than Vélez Sarsfield to win outright, which is our betting tip.

Vélez Sarsfield's strong form this season, particularly at home, is hard to overlook, as are Fortaleza's shaky overall results and performances of late. And we expect the two sides to play true to form when they meet for their upcoming match.
