Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormThe Defensa y Justicia players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Platense recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. In that game they had 62% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Platense who had 16 attempts and 3 on target.
They have taken just a small number of points from their past 6 matches, and while they have only let in 2 goals, it has been their unpredictable form in front of goal that has been their issue, with 7 goals netted in those 6 matches. They are proving tough to beat, keeping 4 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at The Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, marks a good spell of home form for Arsenal.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in The Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, Nicolás Fernández will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Velez Sarsfield, Recent FormIn their last match Vélez Sarsfield enforced their superiority over Central Córdoba with a 4-0 home win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Central Córdoba had 9 shots on goal with 1 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They, for whatever reason, are unable to keep a clean sheet away from home, having not done so for the past 23 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
In each of their last 4 games away from home in the league to Defensa, El Fortín have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Defensa may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 4 league encounters with Vélez.
With no real injury worries, Defensa manager Julio Vaccari will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Santiago Cáseres (Ankle) and Ignacio Méndez (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ricardo Gareca will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
