Betting on Defensa y Justicia
Defensa y Justicia had an impressive five-game winning streak. However, it seems like the team needs to refuel to get back to that level, since it hasn’t won any of the last five official matches. The team’s latest game was against Millonarios from Colombia in the Copa Libertadores, where it suffered a painful 3-0 defeat in Bogotá.
This match was also the third consecutive game in which Julio Vaccari’s team failed to score, and the fourth in its last five games. It’s clear that something has been missing for Defensa y Justicia to keep adding victories. Nevertheless, the team is currently ranked sixth in the standings with 15 points, six points away from the top position, but only two points behind the second-placed team.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ezequiel Unsain; Agustín Sant’Anna, Nazareno Colombo, Tomás Cardona, Alexis Soto; Kevin Gutiérrez, Julián López; Gabriel Alanís, David Barbona, Santiago Solari; Nicolás Fernández.
Betting on Central Cordoba
Meanwhile, Central Cordoba has gradually been improving after a slow start to the season by earning 10 out of the last 15 possible points, which has placed the team with 11 points in the middle of the standings. However, it still has a lot to improve, especially in terms of offense, as only Banfield (four) enters this round of the Argentine First Division with fewer goals than Central Cordoba (five).
Although this team has not lost in its only two visits to the Norberto “Tito” Tomaghello Stadium in the top-flight, this will not be an easy game for the Ferroviario, which has only won one of the last seven away games in the league. The three victories of Central Cordoba this season have seen the team keep a clean sheet, so being strong in defense would be a great idea on its part.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Marcos Ledesma; Brian Blais, Fabio Pereyra, Gonzalo Goñi, Gustavo Canto; Leandro Maciel, Mauro Pittón; Ciro Rius, Brian Farioli, Lucas Besozzi; Facundo Castelli.
JefeBet Prediction
Defensa y Justicia has only lost one of the last 12 home games in all competitions. However, its good record is at risk here, as it is not in its best form, and will be facing Central Cordoba, a team Defensa hasn’t defeated in any of the last four league matches.
Nevertheless, the Central Cordoba has had many problems on enemy grounds lately, conceding at least one goal in eight of its last ten games in that condition.
Both teams have scored in the two matches they have played at this venue. So, with both teams having clear weaknesses but needing to win, we expect to see an entertaining game with goals from both sides.
Prediction: Both teams will score: Yes (DEF 2-1 CEN).
