Betting on Defensa y Justicia (+115 at Codere)
Despite the defeat this team suffered against Argentinos Juniors in matchday 21, Defensa y Justicia is coming off a great victory in the Copa Sudamericana, having defeated the current Colombian soccer champion, Millonarios, by a score of 3-1.
Overall, the team from Florencio Varela has been going through a rough patch in terms of performance, only managing to attain two wins in its last eight matches played. This is even more surprising considering that prior to these eight matches, the team had achieved four victories in a row, which explain its good position in the local tournament standings, currently sitting in 8th place with 33 points.
Playing at home, Defensa y Justicia has shown great solidity in its recent encounters. In fact, the team has not lost in its last five matches, recording three wins and two draws during that time. In its 11 matches played at the Norberto Tomaghello Stadium, Defensa has won five times, drawn four, and lost two matches.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Ezequiel Unsain; Agustín Sant’Anna, Tomás Cardona, Nazareno Colombo, Alexis Soto; Kevin Gutiérrez, Nicolás Tripichio; Gabriel Alanis, Rodrigo Bogarín, Santiago Solari; Nicolás Fernández.

Betting on Tigre (+280 at Codere)
Tigre was defeated by São Paulo 2-0 in the Copa Sudamericana, but its 10 points in Group D were enough to secure the team’s spot in the playoffs, where it will face Libertad from Paraguay to advance.
In the domestic league, the team is currently in 17th place with 25 points. If Tigre had not won its last match against Vélez, it would have continued with its negative streak of seven winless matches. The last win before this negative run came to be took place on April 25th against Huracán, in a match that ended with a narrow 1-0 final score.
Playing away, Tigre’s performance has gone from bad to worse. The team has recorded three losses in a row, five in total out of 11 away matches played. Moreover, its last away triumph took place on February 25th against Belgrano, a match that ended with a 2-0 final score.
Probable lineup (4-1-3-2): Gonzalo Marinelli; Martín Garay, Víctor Cabrera, Abel Luciatti, Lautaro Montoya; Agustín Cardozo; Alexis Castro, Facundo Colidio, Lucas Menossi; Blas Armoa, Tomás Badaloni.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Defensa y Justicia vs Tigre
Since 2015, this matchup has been far from even, with only seven previous encounters. Defensa y Justicia has come out victorious three times, and the remaining four matches ended in a draw. In fact, Tigre has not been able to celebrate a win against the Florencio Varela team since 2014.
At JefeBet, we believe that Defensa y Justicia’s defensive solidity and home advantage, combined with Tigre’s dismal away performance, predicts a victory or, at worst, a narrow draw, for the home team. The best bet to make would be to go for the Under.
Another factor supporting this choice is the fact that in the last seven matches between these teams, only once did the total number of goals scored exceed two, which happened on November 26, 2018, in Defensa y Justicia’s 2-1 victory.
