Round 10 of the Liga Profesional Clausura delivers a megahit at Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, where eighth-placed Defensa y Justicia host fourth-placed Boca Juniors in a clash with top-four goals in mind.

Defensa y Justicia: Form and Statistics

Form in the Clausura: LLWDD

The home side enters this game having lost two if their last league games, with the most recent defeat being against Estudiantes. Defensa Justica demonstrated a good hold of the ball in that game, with three big chances created, but they lacked clinicality in front of goal. Delgado scored in his own net, and that was the only difference between the teams. Before that defeat to Estudiantes, they suffered a 1-2 defeat to Platense after scoring first in the 32nd minute. 

Defensa has been predictable- yet has not been totally outstanding in their past five games- recording one win, 2 draws, and two losses. They have conceded a goal in their last five league games, which is rather indicative of a weak defense line. At home, they have been a bit strong, with only a defeat in their last five home games, alongside three wins and a draw. The team has an overall league stats of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in the 9 games played so far in the Clausura Group A. 

Defensa y Justicia: Lineup

It is expected that Mariano Soso will use a 3-4-2-1 system. Miritello will be the only forward upfront, with Osorio and Gutierrez playing right behind him. Gonzalez and Cannavo will occupy the midfield, and they will be charged with orchestrating and dictating the rhythm of the game.

Player to watch out for: Juan Miritello

The 26-year-old forward has 4 goals already for Defensa in the Clausura; his anchor play is key, with a strong hold-up play with Osorio.

Bologna – Ferreira, Fernandez, Delgado, – Soto, Kevin Gutierrez, Lucas Gonzalez, Cannavo – Abiel Osorio, Juan Manuel Gutierrez – Juan Miritello

Boca Juniors: Form and Statistics

Form in all competitions: DDWWW

Boca Juniors enter this match in good form with an unbeaten run in their last six matches, drawing two and winning three. Their most recent league game against Central Cordoba was a devastating one for Boca Juniors, even though the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Boca Juniors already had a 2-goal lead in the 56th minute with goals from Battaglia and Merentiel in the 41st and 56th minutes, respectively. However, the game eventually ended in a 2-2 draw with Central Cordoba equalizing in the 62nd and 83rd minutes courtesy of goals from Florentin and Gomez, respectively. Before the draw against Central Cordoba, they also played Rosario Central to a 1-1 draw, which demonstrated the power of the team to perform even when put under pressure. 

Boca has a record of 44.4% clean sheets with 4 clean sheets from the nine games played so far, and only 1.3 goals per game. La Bombonera has already scored 12 goals and allowed only 6 goals back; the attacking transitions and set-pieces in Boca are always a significant threat to any team. They are currently 4th in the Clausura Group A, with 3 wins, 5 draws, and a single defeat in the nine games played so far. They are overdue for a win after their last two league games ended in draws.
