• Competition: Argentina Liga Profesional
• Date: 29.07.2024
• Kickoff: 20:30 UK / 21:30 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello (Gobernador Julio A. Costa)

Defensa y Justicia is only one of two teams in the Argentinian Liga Profesional that did not win in the first 7 rounds of the competition. However, unlike some other teams below them in the table, Defensa lost only 2 times and achieved even 5 draws. At home, they played 3 draws in 3 matches and are now looking for a chance for their first victory. She will inevitably come at some point, but the question is whether now?

Platense has achieved 2 victories so far, but it has only 3 points more than the home team and the difference in quality between these two teams is almost non-existent. Platense is in a slightly worse shape than at the beginning of the season because they lost 2 of the 3 previous matches. They were eliminated by Huracan in the Argentina Cup about a month and a half ago, so this remains the only front

Defensa y Justicia vs Platense pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

In the previous matches of Defensa in the championship, 15 goals were scored, which is slightly more than 2 goals per match on average. When it comes to Platense, it is significantly less, just a little more than 1.5 goals per match on average. In 8 out of 10 direct duels between these teams, no more than 2 goals were scored. These are two extremely defensive teams and it is no secret that Platense comes to this stadium to win 1 point, so we expect a very cautious approach and under 2.5 goals as the final outcome.
