Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 away win over Gimnasia y Esgrima in their last league game, Defensa y Justicia will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Gimnasia y Esgrima, who had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Julio Vaccari will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Vaccari will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have had a strong run of form at The Estadio Norberto Tomaghello recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Defensa y Justicia, Nicolás Fernández will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Newell´s Old Boys, Recent FormNewell´s Old Boys will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Vélez Sarsfield. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 2 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 0 of their 2 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
There will be mixed feelings from Leprosos, having been undefeated in their last 4 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Ramiro Sordo has scored in each of Newell´s Old Boys' last league game away from home.
It was one to forget for Newell´s Old Boys last time they met Defensa y Justicia in the league, falling to a 1-2 defeat.
It's been a very long time since Leprosos came to The Estadio Norberto Tomaghello in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 4 visits. Leprosos have let in at least one goal in each of their last 4 league matches at The Estadio Norberto Tomaghello against Defensa.
Newell´s Old Boys has a very poor track record against Defensa when playing away from home in the league, losing the last 4 times they have met at The Estadio Norberto Tomaghello.
With no real injury worries, Defensa manager Julio Vaccari will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Gabriel Heinze has a number of injury concerns in his Newell´s Old Boys squad to contend with: Fabián Ángel (Knee), Cristian Ferreira (Muscle) and Marcos Portillo (Muscle)
