The Vélez team, under the management of Sebastián Domínguez, has had a lackluster performance in the 2025 Apertura Tournament, as they have not achieved any victories or scored a single goal in the first six matches. With five losses and one draw, the team is at the bottom of the table with only one point, putting the coach in a critical position. Another negative result could endanger his continuance at the helm of the team.
The next match will pit Vélez against Lanús at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús Néstor Díaz. Lanús will be aiming to recover after their loss to River, while Vélez will attempt to secure their first victory of the year amid a difficult start to the season. The match will take place on Friday at 9:30 PM, officiated by Sebastián Raineri, with live coverage on TNT Sports Premium.
The possible line-ups for the match are as follows: Lanús: Nahuel Losada; Gonzalo Pérez, Carlos Izquierdoz, Ronaldo Dejesús, Sasha Marcich; Agustín Medina, Agustín Cardozo; Eduardo Salvio, Marcelino Moreno, Ramiro Carrera; Walter Bou. Coach: Mauricio Pellegrino. Vélez: Tomás Marchiori; Jano Gordon, Emmanuel Mammana, Aaron Quiroz, Elías Gómez; Kevin Vázquez, Agustín Bouzat; Francisco Pizzini, Cristian Ordoñez, Tomás Galván; Braian Romero. Coach: Sebastián Domínguez.
Lanús has had ups and downs in the tournament, with two initial losses followed by three consecutive victories, but stumbled again in the last two rounds. With seven points, they sit in the middle of the table and need to accumulate wins to stay in the race for qualification. In contrast, the situation for Vélez is more complicated, with a winless start to the season.
