Defensa y Justicia – Deportivo Riestra

Defensa y Justicia are going through their best moment of form in the whole season. Last Monday, the team played an enjoyable second half to beat Tigre 4-0 away from home. Thanks to that result, El Halcon made it four league games unbeaten, winning three and drawing one in that spell to accumulate 25 points in the Liga Profesional, which places them just one point behind the last Copa Sudamericana spot in the aggregate table. Defensa are on six unbeaten at Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, with four victories and two stalemates in that time. Captain Kevin Gutierrez is ready to return from suspension on Monday.

Deportivo Riestra left very good impressions against league leaders Velez Sarsfield last Monday, when they drew 1-1 at home and could have won the game. El Malevo continue to perform very well in their debut in the top flight: having lost only one of the last 11 in this competition (along with three victories and seven stalemates), the side made it 31 points in 22 Liga Profesional rounds to stay safe from relegation threats. On a sorry note, Riestra are winless in their last 12 as the visiting side, drawing five and losing seven.

Riestra are one team at home where they have an amazing undefeated run, but away they are as poor as it gets and against this Defensa that looked very good last week in a 4-0 win at Tigre they should be in trouble.
