Boca vs Defensa y Justicia
Boca Juniors are still looking for their best version, but they also are grabbing points in the meantime. In round five, the team beat Velez Sarsfield 2-1 away with Luca Langoni and Nicolas Figal scoring, which represented their second consecutive victory in league action. As a result, the defending champions made it ten points in five rounds, trailing table toppers San Lorenzo, Talleres, Defensa y Justicia and Lanus by two. Furthermore, Boca have been unbeaten in their last 13 home matches in domestic action, winning nine and drawing four since losing to Banfield 3-0 in July.
Defensa y Justicia continue looking better game after game. Last time out, the team secured a big 3-0 home success over Atletico Tucuman showing a great performance, which represented their fourth consecutive victory in league action. Julio Vaccari’s men accumulated 12 points in five rounds in this competition, which places them as league leaders alongside Talleres, San Lorenzo and Lanus. Defensa are on six away matches unbeaten on the road in the Liga Profesional, winning four and drawing two since losing to Talleres in September.
I still don’t trust this Boca that doesn’t play good football. They still get good results, but again a good and tough team like this Defensa y Justicia they might find some trouble.
