Defensa y Justicia vs Atletico Tucuman
Defensa y Justicia are closing the 2022 season in very good style. Last Tuesday, the team secured a deserved 2-1 away success at Colon, a result that extended their unbeaten run to eight matches in league action (five victories and three draws). Therefore, El Halcon accumulated 37 points in the Liga Profesional, having already securing a ticket for the 2023 Copa Sudamericana.
Atletico Tucuman are now out of the fight for the title following a 1-1 home draw against Union Santa Fe last Monday, when the team showed a disappointing performance. El Decano are now on three league games without a win (two stalemates and one defeat), which places them on 46 points in the Liga Profesional, trailing leaders Boca Juniors by five. However, the team are still capable of clinching one of the Copa Sudamericana tickets: they need to win here or wait for San Lorenzo to draw or lose against Aldosivi.
Atletico can’t be in a good mood after some bad results that left them out of the championship race and even though they are motivated to get a Copa Sudamericana spot they will face a very in form Defensa that should take the win here.
