Defensa y Justicia vs Arsenal de Sarandi: Betting on the Hosts to Win and Score

Defensa y Justicia will face Arsenal di Sarandi on Tuesday night in the Argentine League Cup. The hosts are quoted as notable favorites given the current form of the opponents. At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the fact that Arsenal beat Defensa in their last two away matches.

After a poor start, one point in first games against Newell's Old Boys and Racing, Defensa has a 4-match winning streak. During this period, the home team was stronger than San Lorenzo, Gimnasia, Banfield and Argentinos Juniors. Such results allowed Defense to occupy fourth place in the Group A standings. Should they win tomorrow's match, the hosts will beat their rivals, including Racing, Union and River Plate, and move into first placу with16 points. Defensa had two home games and four points on a 5:4 goal differential.

After beating Atlético Huracán 2:1 on 19 February, Arsenal got no wins at four games. In the League Cup: an away defeat to Estudiantes and draws with Lanús and Vélez Sarsfield. In the Argentine Cup: a loss in the penalty from little-known club Chaco For Ever after a nil-nil draw in regulation time. After six rounds, Arsenal is 11th in Group B with six points. Arsenal played two away matches, losing both of them: 0:1 to Independiente and 2:3 to Estudiantes.

It is difficult to describe Defensa as a top Argentine team, but in 2020 the club rose to a new level by winning the second most important tournament in continental soccer, the South American Cup. Since then, Defensa did not mind winning a trophy at home as well. Within the Liga Profesional, the Yellow and Green have a lot of success. If they win on Tuesday, Defensa will beat their opponents and lead Group B. Arsenal are weak on the road, in the current draw has two away.

Both home matches in the Professional League with Defensa were productive. The game against Racing ended 2:2. Justicia won 3:2 the match against Gimnasia Esgrima. We hope that Defensa's third home game will be very productive. We don't know for sure if we'll see four or more goals on Tuesday, but these teams will score three.
