Setting the Stage: Early Season, Fresh Faces

The Liga Profesional Argentina is back, and this early-season match between Instituto and Vélez Sarsfield promises to set the tone for both teams. With kickoff scheduled for 01:15 UTC at the iconic Estadio Juan Domingo Perón, fans are eager to see how these sides adapt after a busy transfer window.

Date: Friday, January 23, 2026
Time: 01:15 UTC
Venue: Estadio Juan Domingo Perón
Competition: Liga Profesional Apertura

Head to Head: Evenly Matched Rivals

When it comes to head to head encounters, these two teams have a knack for keeping things balanced. In their last 10 meetings since 2004, Instituto has won 4 times, Vélez Sarsfield has claimed 3 victories, and 3 matches ended in a draw. The most recent meeting on February 3, 2025, saw Instituto take all three points with a 2-0 win. However, history tells us that this fixture rarely goes according to script.

Squad News: Who’s In, Who’s Out?

Both Instituto and Vélez Sarsfield have been busy in the transfer market, making this encounter even more intriguing for sports betting enthusiasts.

Instituto: The home side has seen a major squad shake-up, with over a dozen players departing and eight new faces arriving. Key signings include goalkeeper Lautaro Maldonado, center-back Jonathan Galván, and striker Franco Jara. Fernando Alarcón wears the captain’s armband, and Daniel Oldrá leads from the dugout. The club is reportedly still searching for another right-back and a striker to complete their roster.
Vélez Sarsfield: The big news is the return of Lucas Robertone, back on loan from Spain’s UD Almería. Vélez’s squad features a blend of youth and experience, including Maher Carrizo, Braian Romero, and captain Agustín Bouzat. Guillermo Barros Schelotto, a familiar face in Argentine football, is at the helm.

As of January 19, 2026, there are no major injury concerns reported, but tactical details remain under wraps as both coaches look to keep their cards close to their chests.

Form Guide: Searching for Consistency

Neither team comes into this match in sparkling form. Over their last five games, both Instituto and Vélez Sarsfield have managed just one win, one draw, and three losses. With both sides eager to kickstart their campaigns, expect a cautious approach in the early stages.

Instituto: 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses (last 5 matches)
Vélez Sarsfield: 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses (last 5 matches)
