Our analysis of Vélez Sarsfield points to them being the superior side, which is why they have a strong chance to win the match outright. And with the added benefit of needing only a draw at home against Defensa y Justicia, their chances of cashing in the 1X Double Chance bet grow even stronger.

Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Vélez Sarsfield vs Defensa y Justicia figures to be a very up-and-down match between two aggressive sides, so the corners market is quite an attractive one to bet on.
