Betting on Defensa y Justicia
Defensa y Justicia is in dire need of a win this Thursday if they don’t want to keep falling behind in the race for the first place in the league standings. After their defeat against Platense, the team led by Julio Vaccari couldn’t capitalize on their trip to Florida, and with 14 points in eight games, they’re now trailing behind River Plate by four points in the standings.
This was only the second loss of the season for El Halcon de Varela, with the first one taking place in the distant Matchday 1 when they couldn’t secure a home win against Huracán, losing 2-4.
Since then, Defensa y Justicia went on an impressive six-game unbeaten streak, including three victories at their home ground, where they scored five goals and only conceded one, earning two wins and one draw.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Luis Unsain; Agustín Sant’Anna, Nazareno Colombo, Tomás Cardona, Alexis Soto; Kevin Gutiérrez, Tomás Escalante; David Barbona, Rodrigo Bogarín, Santiago Solari; Nicolás Fernández.
Betting on Velez Sarfield
It seems like Velez Sarfield has finally got back on track, with two wins and a draw in their last three matches. After only managing one victory in their first five games, Ricardo El Tigre Gareca’s squad has climbed up to ninth place in the standings with 12 points, trailing six points behind River Plate at the top of the league.
The key to their recent success is their ability to score goals, with The Fortin netting a total of seven goals in their last three games while only conceding two. In terms of away form, after losing to Newell’s, Velez have not lost again on the road with a draw and a win in their last two home outings.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Leonardo Burián; Leonardo Jara, Miguel Brizuela, Diego Godín, Francisco Ortega; Christian Ordóñez, José Florentín; Julián Fernández, Lucas Pratto, Walter Bou; Abiel Osorio.
JefeBet Prediction
While we shouldn’t expect a high-scoring game, we also shouldn’t anticipate a boring match without any action in front of the net. Defensa y Justicia has scored at least one goal in each of the four games they’ve played at home this season, while Vélez is tied with three other clubs for second place in terms of goals scored in the league with 12.
Furthermore, in the last three direct clashes between these two teams at Defensa y Justicia’s home stadium, both sides have managed to find the back of the net.
Prediction: Both teams score (DEF 1- VEL 1).
