Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormA 2-2 draw in their last match against Godoy Cruz meant Defensa y Justicia had to settle for a share of the points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Godoy Cruz, who had 14 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 12 of their 13 home games this season.
They have been performing well at The Estadio Norberto Tomaghello recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
On an individual basis, Nicolás Fernández will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Defensa y Justicia's last 6 league games.
Sarmiento, Recent FormSarmiento were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Vélez Sarsfield. In that game they recorded 39 % of the possession, with 4 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 19 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games; however, they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Javier Toledo will be hoping to create problems for Defensa y Justicia in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Sarmiento.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-0 win for Sarmiento.
The stats show that in the last 4 meetings between Defensa and their rivals, El Verde, the former have conceded at least one goal.
With no real injury worries, Defensa manager Julio Vaccari will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Yair Arismendi (Cruciate ligament) and Josè Mauri (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Israel Damonte will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
