Meanwhile, Defensa y Justicia are facing trouble in the Copa Sudamericana following their 2-1 home defeat to LDU Quito last Thursday. The team now remain on three points, trailing leaders by three so far. El Halcon played on Monday in league action, but Sebastian Beccacece still fielded his best XI and they won 3-1 away at Union Santa Fe to climb into the playoff zone in group A on 22 points with only one game to go. That victory also stopped a five-game winless streak of two draws and three defeats in all competitions. However, Defensa won six of their last seven away games, losing only once in that spell.

Again if Defensa are playing I have to expect goals, especially in this must win situation where sooner or later they will have to take risks.
