Independiente, Recent FormA point gained from their 0-0 draw against Vélez Sarsfield in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Independiente.
When it comes to attacking power Leandro Stillitano will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Independ. will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormDefensa y Justicia will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Newell´s Old Boys. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Newell´s Old Boys who had 12 attempts and 6 on target.
Manager Julio Vaccari will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. With 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.
They have been performing well away from home and are unbeaten in their last 5 away games.
Nicolás Fernández will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Defensa y Justicia.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Independiente who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Defensa y Justicia.
El Halcón de Varela will be looking to extend their current run of 3 clean sheets at The Estadio Libertadores de América when they visit Independ.. Playing away from home, Defensa have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Independ.. In their past 5 meetings, Defensa's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so El Diablo Rojo will have to take their chances when they come.
In the league, Independ. has not won any of the last 3 times they have welcomed Defensa to The Estadio Libertadores de América.
With no real injury worries, Independ. manager Leandro Stillitano will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Defensa manager Julio Vaccari has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
