🗞️ Team News: Platense

The Platense boss will be thankful to have no fitness concerns at all before this match owing to a fully injury-free squad ready to go.

We think that Platense could go for a 4-2-3-1 system and select Matías Borgogno, J. Ignacio Saborido, Ignacio Vazquez, Víctor Cuesta, Tomás Silva, Santiago Dalmasso, Maximiliano Amarfil, Guido Mainero, Franco Zapiola, Juan Carlos Gauto and Leonardo Heredia.

📋 Team News: Defensa y Justicia

With a completely healthy group available to choose from, the Defensa y Justicia boss doesn’t have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this match.

We’re of the thinking that Halcón seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 formation, giving starts to 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.
