Platense Hosts Vélez Sarsfield in Thrilling Liga Profesional Clash

Vicente López, Argentina – Platense will face Vélez Sarsfield on Saturday, July 19, at 6:45 PM in the second matchday of Zone B in the Liga Profesional. The match will take place at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López, with Hernán Mastrángelo officiating the game.
