Velez Sarsfield will go to “El Monumental” knowing they have a tough game ahead of them. The advantage obtained in Liniers allows them to have some peace of mind, but they also know that the 1-0 is not a guarantee of anything, so they will have to be careful against a River Plate team that plays very well, especially when they play at home.

On the side of the "Millonarios", despite the fact that the defeat when it comes to two teams so evenly matched cannot be a good result, that it was only 1-0 (and even more so if you take into account that Velez lost a very clear almost at the end of the first leg) is good news especially because they have the chance to define in "El monumental".
