Deportivo Riestra, currently ninth in Argentina's top division, will welcome league leaders Velez Sarsfield to Estadio Guillermo Laza on Monday for their 22nd league fixture of the season.
The hosts sit on 30 points after 21 rounds, having recently played to a 0-0 stalemate with Club Atletico Platense on November 8. In that encounter, the home side struggled to create opportunities, managing only three shots and holding a mere 28% of the ball.
Meanwhile, Velez Sarsfield, who claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Tigre on Friday, sits atop the Argentine Primera Division with 42 points. They hold a three-point advantage over Huracan in second place, with just six matches left to play. If they go on to clinch the title, it would mark a remarkable turnaround from their 25th-place finish last season.
