What a game this promises to be. The Champions against one of Argentina's biggest clubs who are staring down the barrel of relegation.
Make no mistake Independiente are in a desperate situation. For those not familiar with Argentinian football, Independiente being relegated is the equivalent of Liverpool dropping into the Championship.
Independiente are running out of time and this is without doubt the worst moment in the club's history. Vargas will be missing from their midfield tonight and they have a mini crisis at right back.
Also looming large for Independiente is the Clasico against Racing Club next weekend. One of the biggest Derby games in the World and Racing Club will love nothing better than to rub their rivals noses in it.
Independiente were actually very unlucky in their 3-1 home defeat to Newell's last week. They missed a penalty at 1-1. But herein lies their problem. They have to pick up wins and they threw everybody forward in search of the winner only for 10-men Newell's to punish them on the break.
Velez are the best team in Argentina but not playing like it at the moment. They narrowly beat a muggy Argentinos Juniors last weekend and then put in a miserable performance during the week in their 1-0 Copa Libertadoes defeat to Emelec. They were very poor in midweek.
They have a very important Libertadores game coming up in midweek but I think they will be focused on this game too. But they will be missing striker Ferreyra tonight.
Velez are a team that have been excellent at bouncing back from disappointing performances in past few years. They are famed for it. They are a tough team.
We can dress this game up anyway we want but the simple fact is that Velez are better than Independiente - much better. I think they will dominate Independiente's midfield and that will be telling. Also with Independient's dreadful situation I can see Velez doing what Newell's did last week and killing them on the break when Indy get desperate.
I've had a serious bet on Velez. It's time to bet like a man. Win. lose or draw I'm happy with the fact that Velez are much better than Independiente and today, hopefully, they will prove it
P.S Word of warning...I fully expect the Indy fans to go on the rampage at some point...maybe they are saving it for later in the season but it will happen!!!

i'm happy to take on Velez lacking Chucky and Peruzzi in the starting lineup and it being a sandwich match between 2 copa lib ties...plus sizeable away section here it looks like so can't rule out crowd trouble if Indepen behind
