ℹ️ Team News: Defensa y Justicia

Due to a fully healthy squad available to select from, the Defensa y Justicia manager doesn’t have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this game.

We believe Halcón appear most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting C. Fiermarín, Lucas Souto, Emiliano Amor, David Martinez, Agustin Hausch, Ever Banega, Aaron Molinas, Elías Pereyra, Ruben Botta, David Barbona and Juan Gutiérrez.

✨ Prediction

In our view, Defensa y Justicia will need things to go their way to score against this Platense lineup who we think might well end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore fancy a good tussle with a 1-0 winning score for Platense when the full-time whistle blows.

Let’s see how this one goes.
