Defensa y Justicia vs San Lorenzo
Defensa y Justicia were clearly affected by the refereeing in a 2-2 away draw against CA Central Córdoba, conceding a late equaliser from a 96th-minute penalty that they felt was wrongly awarded. Despite that setback, El Halcón are in good form, with four wins, two draws and one defeat in their last seven Clausura matches. They are third in Group A with 18 points. They could not close the gap on the Copa Sudamericana places in the annual table and remain four points behind the final qualifying spot. San Lorenzo were outplayed from start to finish by one of the best Argentine teams at the moment, suffering a deserved 2-0 home defeat to Boca Juniors. With just one win in their last five Clausura matches, alongside two draws and two defeats, El Ciclón have 11 points and sit five points behind the final playoff spot in the group A table. In addition, Rubén Insúa’s men are now 20th in the annual table, well clear of both the Copa qualification race and the relegation battle. Away, San Lorenzo collected just two of the 15 points available in the Clausura. San Lorenzo has been terrible lately, poor defensively and I think they will struggle to hold Defensa’s solid attack so I’ll go for the OVER here.
