Defensa y Justicia comes to this game after a hellish week. In addition to the draw in round 9 against Vélez, they also suffered a heavy defeat for the Copa Sudamericana (3-0) against Millionarios. After being one of the teams with the best start in the league, Defensa y Justicia is currently going through a strong crisis of results. In the last 5 games played, they were unable to win any, adding 3 draws and 2 defeats. In addition, they have a very negative record of only 1 goal scored in these last 5 games and 5 conceded. With this series of bad results, the Defensa y Justicia team has already dropped to 6th place, with 15 points. However, not everything is negative. In the home games, the team lost the 1st game, but since then it has 3 wins and 2 draws. The Defensa y Justicia team needs to take advantage of the home factor again to get back to winning ways.

After a terrible start to the championship, the Central Cordoba team got back together, adding another victory. They are already in 19th place with 11 points added so far. The team has a well-defined standard of play that has shown good results: being strong defensively and exploring counterattacks and set pieces. And the truth is that it has paid off. Despite not scoring many goals, they suffer very little. In the last 5 games, they were able to score 5 goals and conceded 5, however, they conceded 4 in a single match in round 8 against Vélez. Besides that game, the team only conceded 1 goal in 4 games. In this game against Arsenal Sarandi, the Central Cordoba team explored the same tactic. Arsenal Sarandi always had more possession of the ball, but it was Central Cordoba who created the main opportunities and would score near the end of the 1st half the goal that would earn the victory. Central Cordoba have presented themselves as a very solid team, and in a game that they are not favorites, they will certainly explore the same game strategy.

In the last 5 games between these two teams, Central Cordoba has won 2, Defensa y Justicia has won 1, and there’s 2 draws. Goals were scored in all of those 5 games, with an impressive average of 3 goals per match.

It’s hard to predict a winner in this matchup, but not many goals are expected.
