Defensa y Justicia vs Colon
Defensa y Justicia continue to improve as the season progresses. On Wednesday, they claimed an easy 4-0 away success at Atletico Tucuman to make it nine league matches unbeaten (having won eight and drawn one). Following this remarkable streak, the team climbed into second spot in the Liga Profesional’s table on 40 points and also hold onto their Copa Sudamericana spot in the aggregate standings, which seemed unthinkable a few months ago.
After two consecutive league successes, Colon returned to losing ways last Thursday, when they were beaten by Rosario Central 4-1 at home after a worrying performance. However, the team remain producing a remarkable campaign, with 35 points in the Liga Profesional and also occupying the fourth place in the 2021 aggregate table. On away turf, Eduardo Dominguez’s men grabbed 14 of those points, having registered four victories, two draws and five defeats in the current competition.
Defensa are in superb form and looking for to secure a Copa Sudamericana place today, while Colon plays for nothing so I expect the hosts to continue their great run.
