THE PREDICTION
First takes on third here in Group B of the Copa de la Liga Profesional as table toppers Velez Sarsfield travel to Defensa y Justicia. Velez Sarsfield have won five and lost just one of their opening six league matches this season, whilst the hosts tasted their second defeat of the campaign last time out as they fell to a 3-1 loss away to Sarmiento. It will be important for Defensa y Justicia to shake that defeat out of their system and for their defence to show the form that saw them concede just one goal in three games previous to that Sarmiento defeat. Providing the home side’s backline shows that required improvement then a close affair looks in prospect. When taking into account that four of Velez Sarsfield’s six league matches so far have seen under 2.5 goals scored, it would be a surprise if the same outcome wasn’t to occur here with neither side likely to commit too many bodies forward and risk giving the opposition any increased space inside their own half.
