Argentinos Juniors vs Defensa y Justicia Prediction: We Expect Many Goals

These two mid-table teams lock horns at the Estadio Armando Maradona in another primera scuffle. The last ten meetings between El Bicho and The Hawk ended in six (6) victories for the visitors, two gridlocks, and two home wins. Regardless of these statistics, the home team seems to be in better form than the guests, seeing as they have come into the game with the confidence of three wins in five of their recently concluded contests. For this, we expect a high scoreline as both sides are very much goal oriented. 

Argentinos Juniors (9th)

Last Five Matches: W-W-L-L-W

Gabriel Milito, Head Coach to the home side has hands tied as his team goes into this game as statistical underdogs. In the past five domestic games, he has coached El Bicho to three wins, despite the hiccups against Boca Juniors and Talleres Cordoba.

Recently, they have thrived against all odds to defend their grounds against Liverpool (2-1), Velez Sarsfield (1-0), and Platense (1-0). They have compiled nine of fifteen points and would look to vehemently defend their home grounds against the invasion of the guest, who are tipped to repeat history.

Defensa y Justicia (7th)

Last five Matches: L-W-D-L-D

Defensa y Justicia continues the struggle in their games as they willfully strive for three points to foster the red card studded 1-0 defeat they had in the last outing against league leaders River Plate. They also suffer a red card suspension which they acquired in the 1-1 draw against Racing Club. For the visitors, who haven’t gotten the euphoric taste of victory in the last two league games, they would also be looking to punish the hosts who hope to give them hell.

Going into this game, The Hawk expects all backdrop predictions to have been cracked from the standoff and expect the team to seek a brighter purpose - top flight. This three points could go a long way in edging closer to the ultimate region, pending the result of this scuffle.
