Rosario Central vs Defensa y Justicia
Rosario Central showed improvements last Monday, but they still had to settle for an unlucky 1-1 home draw against Union Santa Fe in an intense game. As a result, El Canalla are now on six league games without a win (four draws and two losses), which means they continue performing quite irregularly in the Liga Profesional, having accumulated 26 points in 23 games.
Defensa y Justicia were close to beating title candidates Racing Club last Wednesday, but they eventually registered a 3-3 home draw after conceding the equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time. On a positive note, El Halcon extended their unbeaten streak to five games in league action, having won three and drawn two in that spell. They made it 30 points in the Liga Profesional to stay occupying one of the Copa Sudamericana berths in the 2022 aggregate table.
Nothing to play for Rosario Central except to keep getting points to avoid relegation trouble next season while Defensa is trying to confirm a place in Sudamericana, the totals line seems too low considering Defensa comes from a 6 goals fest in the 3-3 vs Racing so I’ll go with the over.
