The Vélez Sarsfield team will finally be able to play at home in their stadium, the José Amalfitani, against San Lorenzo in the match that will kick off the fourth round of the Apertura Tournament. This decision comes after the 'Fortín' field was in doubt due to the state of the grass, which had been heavily criticized following the match against Platense in the second round.
After an inspection carried out by the Professional League, the stadium met the required standards and received approval to host the classic against San Lorenzo. Given the possibility of a venue change due to non-compliance with regulations on the playing field, Vélez, the current champion of the Professional Football League, has worked hard to prepare the conditions of the ground with the help of agronomist engineer Sebastián Ruggeri.
Vélez will seek to obtain their first victory in the tournament by facing San Lorenzo, after suffering defeats against Tigre, Platense, and Instituto de Córdoba. For their part, San Lorenzo will try to stay in the fight for the top positions after defeating Talleres and Gimnasia La Plata, and drawing with River in the last match. It will be a crucial clash for both teams in their aspirations in the Apertura Tournament.
