Defensa y Justicia – Arsenal

Tomas Galvan’s goal in the 92nd minute gave Defensa y Justicia a key 1-0 away success at Argentinos Juniors last Monday. Thanks to that result, the team remain as one of the group A leaders on 13 points (alongside River Plate and Union Santa Fe) and also extended their unbeaten streak to five league matches (four victories and one draw) since losing at Newell’s Old Boys in the season opener. Furthermore, Defensa are on 13 home matches unbeaten in domestic action, having won nine and drawn four in that spell. Coach Sebastian Beccacece has a complete squad to choose from on Monday.

Sarandi Arsenal played a worthy game last time out but had to settle for a scoreless draw against Velez Sarsfield at home. That result means the team accumulated six points in as many matches in the Copa Liga Profesional, which places them in the 23rd spot of the relegation table. Leonardo Madelon’s men are on three league games without a win, drawing two and losing one. In addition, Arsenal have been winless in the last 15 domestic encounters on away turf, with only three stalemates and 12 defeats. On Tuesday 15, Arsenal lost on penalties after a scoreless draw against second-tier club Chaco For Ever in the Copa Argentina first round.

Defensa is one of the best teams in the league, especially at home, and they should continue this good streak at home against this poor and irregular Arsenal.
