Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Rosario Central will not have sat easily with the Defensa y Justicia squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Rosario Central who had 22 attempts and 7 on target.
They have a modest amount of points to show from their last 6 games, in spite of only conceding 3 goals, because they have failed to be as predictable in their scoring at the other end despite a reasonable 7 goals. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches overall.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Racing Club, Recent FormRacing Club boss Fernando Gago will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 away mauling from Platense. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Platense's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
They have found the net 5 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 15 goals in that same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 13 of their 16 games overall.
Racing Club will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 7 games.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Racing Club, Matías Rojas will be looking to add more goals against Defensa y Justicia in this match.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 3-3 draw.
Defensa will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against La Academia having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings. When Racing are away to El Halcón de Varela in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game.
In the league, Defensa has had a good run of results against Racing, being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Defensa manager Julio Vaccari will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Fernando Gago has a number of injury concerns in his Racing squad to contend with: Johan Carbonero (Cruciate ligament), Jonatan Gómez (Calf), Paolo Guerrero (Knee), Leonel Miranda (Cruciate ligament), Gonzalo Piovi (Knee), Matías Rojas (Ankle), Maximiliano Romero (Muscle) and Emiliano Vecchio (Cruciate ligament)
