Defensa y Justicia vs Colon
Defensa y Justicia are one of the best teams in the league at the moment. Last Monday, they claimed an easy 2-0 away success at Barracas Central playing in very good style. El Halcon made it three consecutive victories in the league without even conceding to climb into third place of the Liga Profesional table, accumulating 24 points in 13 rounds this season. Defensa succumbed to a single defeat across their last six matches at Estadio Norberto Tomaghello in domestic action, along with three victories and two stalemates. With left back Alexis Soto returning from suspension, coach Julio Vaccari has a complete squad to choose from on Sunday.
Colon celebrated their first home victory of the season in round 13, when they beat Velez Sarsfield 2-1 at Estadio Brigadier Estanislao Lopez thanks to a brace from striker Ramon Abila. As a result, El Sabalero extended their unbeaten streak to ten league matches. However, only two of those were wins (along with eight draws), which means the team accumulated 14 points in the Liga Profesional so far, occupying 20th spot of the league table. On away turf, Colon are without defeat in the last five, having won one and drawn four.
Colon looks improved, they scored 2 goals in 5 of their last 7 games, Defensa has scored 2 or more in 3 of their last 4 games, so I expect to see an open and entertaining game here.
