Betting on Defensa y Justicia
While Defensa y Justicia’s campaign is on track, things haven’t gone as expected in international play. It’s worth mentioning that the team from Florencio Varela arrives at this match after suffering a tough 3-0 loss against Millonarios on their visit to Colombia.
Although the match between América MG and Peñarol also ended in a big victory for the Brazilians, the simple fact of not being able to score at the Campín de Bogotá caused the Argentine team, led by Julio Vaccari, to finish the first matchday in last place of Group F with zero points on their account.
Moving to the present, the Halcón managed to secure a 1-0 win over Instituto de Córdoba, a victory that allowed them to reach third place in the Argentine League with 21 points and face this upcoming international match with more confidence.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ezequiel Unsain; Agustín Sant’Anna, Julián Malatini, Tomás Cardona, Alexis Soto; Kevin Gutiérrez, Julián Alejo López, Gabriel Alanís, David Barbona, Santiago Solari; Nicolás Fernández.
Betting on America MG
On the flip side, America MG comes into this match after experiencing some turbulent days. Looking on the bright side, the Brazilian squad managed to debut in the Copa Sudamericana with a resounding 4-1 victory at home over Uruguay’s Peñarol, thanks to an outstanding performance by striker Gonzalo Mastriani, who scored a brace.
The lopsided win in the debut of the team coached by Vágner Mancini allowed them to finish the first day of the continental tournament in first place with three points, and now, on Argentine soil, they will look to replicate a remarkable victory.
But looking at the negative side, America MG comes into this upcoming match after debuting in the Brasileirao with a tough 3-0 home loss against Fluminense. Despite standing out and finishing as regional runners-up in the Campeonato Mineiro, O Coelho couldn’t leave a good impression in their start of the Brazilian league tournament.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Matheus Cavichioli; Arthur, Eder, Iago Maidana, Marlon; Juninho, Alê; Matheusinho, Martín Benítez, Everaldo; Gonzalo Mastriani.
JefeBet Prediction
The clash of two turbulent paths leaves this upcoming match with some difficulties in projecting towards any predictable outcome. On the one hand, there is a team that made their international debut with a tough loss but will have the full support of their fans.
On the other side of the coin is the visiting team, who made their Sudamericana debut with a big win but nevertheless, comes off a disappointing performance in the local league. That’s why for this Defensa y Justicia vs America MG match, at JefeBet, we believe this match will end in a draw.
