Argentinian top-flight leaders Deportivo Riestra are set to host Velez Sarsfield at Estadio Guillermo Laza on Monday in their 22nd game of the league season.
The hosts are ninth with 30 points after 21 matchweeks and drew 0-0 with Club Atletico Platense on November 8, while the away side are first in the Argentine Primera Division with 42 points and beat Tigre 1-0 on Friday.
We say: Deportivo Riestra 1-1 Velez Sarsfield
The hosts have struggled to create many chances in recent games, but it is difficult to see them losing given their strong home record.
Additionally, Velez Sarsfield also struggled in the final third last time out, and it would not be surprising if Monday's match was low scoring.

The visitors will be full of confidence after securing two successive wins heading into this one, and with them boasting a strong record at this ground in recent meetings, we believe they will triumph again here.

Lanus will be looking to extend their two-match winning streak in the 2024 Argentine Primera Division when they take on Platense at Estadio Ciudad de Lanus - Nestor Diaz Perez on Monday.
Meanwhile, the visitors will also head into this clash with the hope of preserving their ongoing unbeaten run, having not lost any of their last eight league games.
We say: Lanus 1-1 Platense
Lanus have been impressive this month, and have lost only two home games since June, and we expect them to have enough to earn a draw against a Platense side that has also shown that they are resilient.

A crucial bottom-half battle in the Argentine Primera Division will play out on Monday morning when Argentinos Juniors take on Banfield at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona.
After 21 games in the Second Phase, these two sides are separated by just a single point, with the hosts currently in 23rd place with 23 points, while the visitors are 24th with 22 points.
We say: Argentinos Juniors 2-1 Banfield
While Argentinos Juniors have been a long way from their best in the Second Phase of the season, they are a very difficult side to overcome on their home patch, unbeaten in their last seven.
Banfield, on the other hand, are winless in their last three on the road and have won only two of their last 10, thus, we are going for the hosts to edge the result in this one.
