⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers have Velez Sarsfield as favourites here - they had the better Apertura and they're at home. That said, Instituto Cordoba will look to make things difficult and get their Clausura off to a positive start. Worth noting: at least two goals were scored in 12 of the visitors' last 14 matches. Given that, a bet on total goals over 1.5 makes sense. Our call is a 1-1 draw.
