Belgrano vs Defensa y Justicia Prediction: Can Defensa maintain their unbeatable streak?

The seventh round of the Torneo Betano 2025 offers Belgrano hosting Defensa y Justicia in a game that is bound to be a good one. The two teams are both keen to improve on the performances of the last round.

Belgrano (LWDLL)

In their last kick, Belgrano was beaten by Central Córdoba 4-0 after fending off the attacking pace of their opponent. In the first half they conceded twice and had no come back, then allowed two more goals in the second period. While they had 39 per cent possession, only one were on target and they failed to defend as their number of attempts from Central Córdoba was 19. An already defensive frailty exposed in that match will be a concern when they take on a well structured Defensa y Justicia side.

Defensa y Justicia (WDWDW)

While that was the case, Defensa y Justicia managed to hold their own and edge out Barracas Central in a 1-1 draw where they possessed the ball for 61% and had 12 shots, but scored very few major opportunities. Barracas Central equalised in the second half with a lapse at the defence, to take the lead in the first half. Conversely, a Belgrano side that showed deficiencies in their last match will pose the greatest possible threat should they be able to control their strong midfield and create chances.

Expert Betting Tips

Defensa y Justicia have had a good record when they play away from home, where they prefer to dictate the game, and Belgrano must recover from a poor first defensive show. In this fixture, Defensa y Justicia’s ability to control possession and create chances will be key to them picking up all three points. If Belgrano are to avoid another fruitless result, they will require an improbable defensive improvement.
