REF’s picks

Lanús holds a solid home record and faces a Vélez side prone to draws, making the -0.5 Asian handicap line at 2.24 a worthwhile entry.

1. 1Lanús has been defensively resolute at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús, keeping clean sheets in recent outings.
2. 2Vélez Sarsfield shares the points frequently on the road, which keeps the margin tight.
3. 3A narrow one-goal victory is required, but an early breakthrough could leave Vélez exposed.
