Betting on Defensa y Justicia (+295 at Caliente)
Defensa y Justicia has been having a dreamy season, attaining a spot in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 and sitting in 5th place in the domestic league. The team has managed to avoid defeat in three matches in a row in the domestic championship, even when it was trailing for a significant part of the match in the last two.
The Julio Vaccari led team’s ability to bounce back, has put it just three points away from qualifying for the next Copa Libertadores. Moreover, the team’s performance on the road has played a crucial role, as it currently ranks as the third-best club in the Argentine League, with five wins, two draws, and four losses.
However, Defensa y Justicia has suffered three defeats in its last five away matches, conceding six out of its eight total goals against away from Florencio Varela. The busy schedule seems to be taking its toll on the Defensa y Justicia team, which had only conceded one goal in its previous 10 matches.
Probable lineup (4-5-1): Enrique Bologna; Agustín Sant’Anna, Nazareno Colombo, Tomás Cardona, Alexis Soto; Julián López, Nicolás Tripichio, Gabriel Alanís, Santiago Solari, Gastón Togni; Nicolás Fernández.
