The club from Florence Varela has been flourishing in recent years. Defensa y Justicia won their first international tournament, Copa Sudamericana, in 2020. And last season, they finished second in the national championship, winning silver medal for the second time in the last four years.
Defensa y Justicia started the 2022 championship not to match their new status of one of the Primera Division grandee. The first four rounds saw the team managed by Sebastián Beccacece winless – three draws and a loss. Could it be that the club will not be able to develop its success and consolidate its position among the leaders of Argentine soccer? It is too early to draw conclusions.
Velez Sarsfield, on the other hand, finally won
Defensa y Justicia has not yet won in the new season, but also lost for the first time only last round, failing to cope on the road with Godoy Cruz. Velez Sarsfield finally broke their winless streak in the previous round by winning their first match of the season. On home field, Velez Sarsfield handled Rosario Central 2-0. A good start was made. Will things go well for the legendary team this season?
Head-to-head encounters
Last season the rivals met twice and both meetings ended in a draw – 0-0 in the championship and 1-1 in Copa Argentina.
Expert Betting Tips
Defensa y Justicia is one of the strongest clubs in Argentina in recent seasons. It is clear that 4 starting rounds without a single victory is not at all in line with the ambitions, plans, and status of this team. It seems that the time to break the losing streak has come, and Velez Sarsfield, also a team stalled at the start of the season is the perfect candidate to achieve this goal. Defensa and Justicia simply have to win by now.
Prediction: Defensa y Justicia will win.
