Vélez Sarsfield
, in the return of Ricardo
Tigre
Gareca as coach, receives
Platense
this Monday at the close of the seventh date of the 2023 Professional League tournament.
The game will be played at the José Amalfitani stadium from 9:00 p.m., with refereeing by Darío Herrera and broadcast by TNT Sports.
El
Tigre
begins his second cycle at the Liniers club on his return to Argentine soccer after his successful stint with the Peruvian national team.
At the age of 65, Gareca rejected an offer from Ecuador and decided to return to
Fortín
, where he won four titles in five years, to replace Uruguayan Alexander Medina.
The experienced coach officially took office last Tuesday after Vélez's first victory in the championship, which was against Talleres (2-1) in Córdoba under the leadership of the interim duo of Marcelo Bravo and Hernán Manrique.
With the expectation generated by his return to the club, Gareca tries to score his first win at Liniers and put the team's campaign back on track to get out of sixteenth position.
Vélez has a forced absence since the left back
Francisco Ortega
was sent off in Córdoba.
For its part, Platense is also in need of points given that after the last 1-1 draw against Central Córdoba, in Vicente López, it has four dates without winning.
This is how he marches twenty-third (23rd) and also pays attention to the averages.
Martín Palermo
's team
only won one game and it was on the second day against Independiente (2-1) in Avellaneda.
El
Calamar
suffered a severe loss since the defender and captain, Gastón Suso, author of the goal in the last match, has a sprained ankle and will be out for at least three weeks.
In the history, in total they played 108 games in the First Division with 52 wins for
Fortín
against 27 for
Marrón
and 29 draws.
As the last meeting they met in June of last year in Liniers and it was a 1-0 victory for the team currently managed by Palermo
