Defensa y Justicia – River

Defensa y Justicia lost at Talleres 1-0 after five matches unbeaten in the Superliga in an intense game two weeks ago.

The team were able to put one of the best squads in the league in trouble, but it was not enough to secure points. That result means Defensa remain on 29 points and wasted a clear opportunity to return to one of the Copa Sudamericana places.

River Plate’s are on three consecutive victories in all competitions after beating Belgrano 3-1 at home.

Their mood is much better now but they have almost nothing to play for in the league, only to get a Copa Sudamericana place which is basically nothing for one of the biggest teams in the league, so now their focus is on Copa Libertadores where next Thursday they play at home vs colombian side Independiente Santa Fe in a must win match.

Defensa y Justicia at home lost only one of the last 8 games and today they should be more focused than River.

Boca – Talleres

Boca Juniors rescued an important point on their visit to Atletico Tucuman after a 1-1 draw as Walter Bou found the back of the net in stoppage time.

Boca remain as league leaders on 47 points, six above Talleres after suffering a single defeat in their last ten matches in the Superliga.

Talleres keep sitting in second spot of the table following their 1-0 home victory over Defensa y Justicia last time out. Juan Ramirez’s goal in the first half was enough to claim three points in an intense match. Frank Kudelda’s men are on nine matches unbeaten (the longest run in the league at the moment) and reached 41 points – a remarkable campaign for them. They also haven’t lost any of their last eight away matches, having won four of them.

This game is a potential league decider as it’s the leaders meeting the 2nd place team who is 6 points behind them.

Talleres form is right now superb and they know this is a game they need to win, while Boca comes with some problems after losing the superclasico vs River a few weeks ago, and won’t have their super star Carlos Tevez and colombian international Edwin Cardona in attack, while experienced midfielder Pablo Perez will be a game time decision.

Boca will be happy to walk out not losing as it will allow them to keep their big lead, so I think Talleres odds have value here.

Bet: Talleres +0.5 2.07

Chacarita – Arsenal

Chacarita Juniors seem to be condemned to return to B Nacional after their 3-1 away defeat to Rosario Central last time out.

Chacarita accumulated just 14 points and six games without a win, which means they remain bottom in the relegation table.

However, the club’s three victories this season were at home, with the other games ending in two draws and four losses.

Meanwhile, Sarandi Arsenal are also close to getting relegated after their 1-1 home draw in a six-pointer with Velez Sarsfield.

In fact, their drop could be settled today if Patronato claim more points than them. Arsenal sit in 27th spot of the league table with just 12 points and grabbed only two in their last seven games on away turf.

The bottomline is that unless there is miracle this two teams will be playing in Nacional B this season. They definitely must win to keep any kind of hopes alive, so it should be an open game between teams that will see anything less than 3 points as a defeat.
