Barracas Central vs Defensa y Justicia
Barracas Central once again put on a solid display last Sunday, drawing 1-1 away to CA Central Córdoba in a hard-fought clash. With that result, El Guapo sit top of Group A in the Torneo Clausura with ten points, extending their unbeaten run in the league to three matches (two wins and one draw) and remaining well inside the Copa Sudamericana qualification zone. On home soil, Barracas have won four of their last five league games, losing just once. Fernando Tobio remains sidelined due to his muscle problem. Coach Ruben Insua would repeat the XI.
Defensa y Justicia failed to take advantage of a weakened opponent last Sunday and had to settle for a 1-1 home draw against a rotated Newell’s Old Boys side in an entertaining match. El Halcón reached eight points in the Torneo Clausura, with two wins, two draws, and one defeat, leaving them five points short of the Copa Sudamericana qualification zone. In addition, Defensa have picked up just two of the last 18 points available away from home in the league.
Barracas are the Group A leaders, looking confident and playing some solid football, and at these odds they are a good bet against the irregular Defensa y Justicia who have been quite poor playing away.
