Velez Sarsfield have kicked off their 2025 Copa Libertadores campaign in promising fashion and now welcome a struggling Olimpiaside to Argentina in midweek Group H action.
The hosts sit atop the group with two wins and one loss from their opening three fixtures, narrowly edging San Antonio Bulo Bulo on goal difference. However, consistency has eluded them—Velez were thumped 4-1 by River Plate over the weekend and haven't strung together back-to-back wins or losses since mid-March.
As for Olimpia, their continental form leaves much to be desired. The Paraguayans have mustered just a single point in group play so far. That said, they'll arrive with a small dose of renewed confidence after a gritty 2-1 away win over rivals Cerro Porteno in domestic action.
