On June 14, Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello (Gobernador Julio A. Costa) will host the match of the 20th round of the Liga Profesional, in which Defensa y Justicia will compete with Belgrano. The battle will start at 01:30 CET.

Defensa y Justicia

The team was founded in the 30s of the previous century. Still, it has only recently become really famous. “The Halcón” managed to become the vice-champion of the country (despite the fact that it debuted at the level of the Primera only in 2014) in 2019 and 2021, and in the pause between the higher mentioned events, being under the rule of Hernan Crespo, the club won the Copa Sudamericana. The start of the previous season was not bad – the team achieved the play-offs of the Diego Maradona Cup. At the same time, there was only the 12th place in the Primera. Nowadays, it is pretty successful in the Copa Sudamericana – there happened a defeat made by Millonarios, but it was followed by 4 wins in a row. Speaking about the championship of Argentina, there is a clear tendency there: 4 victories in a row were changed by 5 matches without victories. Then, the team took the maximum four times in April, which again were changed by 3 draws and a defeat made by Rosario Central.

Belgrano

The club is periodically promoted to the Primera. Moreover, it has been possible to stay permanently in the top division of the country since 2012. It even managed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. Still, everything ended in 2019 – the team was relegated from the elite division of Argentina. And only the results of the previous cycle gave an opportunity to return. It was important just to gain a foothold at the new level. Nevertheless, the team immediately showed its considerable ambitions. It was able to beat River Plate already in the second round. And, taking into account the Copa Argentina matches, there were 5 victories in a row in April. Still, everything was changed by 3 defeats, which were combined with a 1-0 score in the battle against Atlético Tucuman and a draw in the match with Talleres, in the following month. The summer began with a 2-0 victory in the confrontation with Velez Sarsfield, however, it is reasonable to mention that all points, including June ones, were taken at the home arena.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The last time the opponents had a head-to-head match was in 2018. Then both battles brought 1-1 draws.

Predictions

Bookmakers do not believe that the newcomer of the division will “cling” to the points at the away arena. Still, it is reasonable to mention that the hosts’ previous matches are far from being perfect, thus, we bet on “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.61).
