Platense, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Vélez Sarsfield will be viewed as a positive outcome for Platense and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 42% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Vélez Sarsfield's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Martín Palermo will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
A home win for Platense is just a distant memory, having not won at The Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López in 8 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Platense, Nicolás Castro will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Defensa y Justicia and Talleres in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Talleres had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Julio Vaccari will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 1 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They are proving to be a hard team to beat, having kept 5 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 7 games in a row.
Nicolás Fernández will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Defensa y Justicia.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
With only Jerónimo Cacciabue (Groin) and Nicolás Morgantini (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Martín Palermo will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Defensa manager Julio Vaccari ahead of this clash, with Gastón Togni (Muscle) missing out, which gives Vaccari a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
