Defensa y Justicia vs Club Atletico Ituzaingo Prediction: Defensa Favorites to Win

In the upcoming fixture of Copa Argentina, Defensa y Justicia will be up against Club Atlético Ituzaingó at the Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo in La Plata. After the end of the previous season, Defensa started its campaign against Atletico Huracan in the Argentine Primera Division. However, Defensa lost its opening game in the contest (2-4). On the other hand, Ituzaingo is also coming off a defeat against CA Fenix (2-0), which was even in September 2022. This will be the very first outing between the two, with Ituzaingo walking in as the underdogs.
