Defensa y Justicia vs Tigre
Defensa y Justicia three-match unbeaten streak of two victories and one draw in league action came to an end last Monday, when the side succumbed to a 1-0 away defeat at CA Central Cordoba in an intense game. As a result, the team continue producing an irregular campaign in the Liga Profesional, accumulating 14 points. However, El Halcon remain occupying one of the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table. At home, Defensa are on nine league matches unbeaten, having won three and drawn six since losing to River Plate 2-1 in early April.
Tigre are showing an interesting version at the moment. Last time out, the team played in good style to beat Rosario Central 3-1 at home with striker Mateo Retegui netting a brace. El Matador are on three league matches unbeaten, having won two and drawn one. Diego Martinez’s men made it 16 points in the Liga Profesional and continue approaching the Copa Sudamericana zone in the aggregate table (two points behind Huracan, who occupy the last berth).
Tigre has the best attack in the league with 20 goals scored in 12 rounds but also 18 conceded that made them one of the worst defenses, and I expect this to continue against this irregular Defensa y Justicia.
