Defensa y Justicia – Belgrano

Defensa y Justicia saw their round 19 away game at River Plate abandoned in the 26th minute on June 3 following a fan’s death during the match (the score was 0-0). With that game in hand, El Halcon remain on 30 points in the Liga Profesional and continue winless in their last four matches in this competition, drawing three and losing one in that time. However, Defensa have been unbeaten in their last four domestic commitments at Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, with two victories and two draws. On Tuesday 6, Defensa won 3-0 away at Penarol in a Copa Sudamericana group game. All regulars are at Julio Vaccari’s disposal to host Belgrano on Tuesday.

Belgrano showed great improvements last time out to return to winning ways through a 2-0 home success over Velez Sarsfield, with Pablo Vegetti and Guillermo Pereira finding the back of the net. That result allowed them to stop a three-match winless streak of one draw and two defeats in league action. El Pirata made it 31 points to continue sitting into one of the Copa Sudamericana places in their return to the top flight. On a sorry note, Guillermo Farre’s men are on three defeats in a row on the road.

Belgrano have been good lately but they are a different team when they play away, so I’ll trust this solid Defensa that comes from a great midweek win to take the 3 points at home.
