Defensa y Justicia vs Central Cordoba

Defensa y Justicia registered a scoreless stalemate against Velez Sarsfield at home in an even game in round nine. Following that result, El Halcon are now on four league games without a win, drawing three and losing one in that time. However, they are producing a good campaign in the Liga Profesional, accumulating 15 points to occupy sixth spot. At home, Defensa are on four domestic games unbeaten at home, having won two and drawn two since losing to Huracan 4-2 in the season opener. On Tuesday 4, Defensa lost 3-0 away at Millonarios from Colombia in a Copa Sudamericana group game.

Thanks to a strike from Brian Farioli in the first half, CA Central Cordoba celebrated a much-needed 1-0 home success over Sarandi Arsenal in a hard-fought six-pointer last Monday. As a result, the team made it three victories and one draw across their last five league games (along with one defeat) to accumulate 11 points in the Liga Profesional and open a five-point gap over the first relegation place in the points average table, occupied by Sarmiento. On a sorry note, Central are winless in their last five away matches, drawing two and losing three since beating Union Santa Fe 4-1 in October.

Defensa is another team that played a midweek Copa Sudamericana game and in their case they had a long trip to Colombia, to play in Bogotá vs Millonarios where they were destroyed 3-0. I expect them to be tired, maybe rest some regulars, and since Central Cordoba is not a reliable team and has scored only 5 goals in 9 games, I’ll go with the UNDER here.

BET: UNDER 2.25 @ 1.99
