Defensa y Justicia vs Lanus

Defensa y Justicia wasted another chance of entering the playoff zone last Monday, when they registering a disappointing 1-1 home stalemate against newcomers Deportivo Riestra after missing several goalscoring opportunities. El Halcon made it six league matches unbeaten (winning three and drawing three), but those 12 points in the Copa Liga Profesional still place them one point behind fourth-placed Lanus in group B. Defensa claimed a single victory across their last six league matches at Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, along with three stalemates and two losses. Goalkeeper Enrique Bologna remains sidelined due to a knee problem.

Lanus fans will have felt devastated after the team’s 1-1 home stalemate against Banfield last Sunday as El Granate conceded the equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time. However, they are going through a remarkable form at the moment: Ricardo Zielinski’s men remain unbeaten in the last four in league action, winning three and drawing one, which allows them to stay occupying one of the playoff places in group B after accumulating 13 points in seven rounds. In fact, Lanus succumbed to a single defeat across their last six away games, along with two victories and three draws.

Lanus has scored 7 in the last 4 games, Defensa comes from conceding at home against two of the worst teams in the league, Central Cordoba and Deportivo Riestra, so I like the chance of having at least 2 goals here as I can see both teams scoring.
