Prediction

For the last round of fixtures, Platense will want to make it four games unbeaten to make a positive end to the campaign. 18th place is about right for a side of their stature, but that won't stop them striving for more here.
13 goals in 15 starts for Matias Tissera is the standout figure when it comes to Platense's season. The forward has come on leaps and bounds as of late and has single-handedly masked the rest of Platense's issues in front of goal with his consistent form.
Velez Sarsfield have picked up just one win in their last four league matches, sitting fourth in the table. They could have made a run for the title were it not for River Plate's phenomenal winning run after the Copa Libertadores.
It will be Thiago Almada's final Velez Sarsfield game as the exciting attacking playmaker makes his way to Major League Soccer. He will be a massive loss not only to Velez but to Argentinian domestic football in general.
