Defensa y Justicia vs Unión Santa Fe prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 15, 2025
One of the matches of the 13th round of the Argentine championship will be played on Tuesday at the Norberto Tito Tomaghello stadium, where the local club Defensa y Justicia will host Unión Santa Fe. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this clash with a good odds.
Match preview
Defensa y Justicia is experiencing a slump after a promising start to the season. The team is clearly stalling: recent matches have shown that stability in results has faded into the background, and confidence has somehow evaporated. After 12 rounds, the team is in 9th place, trailing one point behind Independiente Rivadavia from the top 8.
The team approaches the match with a series of three defeats. In particular, the last round saw an away defeat to Argentinos Juniors with a score of 1-4. In attack, hope rests on Juan Miritiello, who, despite scoring four times in ten matches, pulls the weight alone. And in defense, there is real concern: 10 goals conceded in the last 5 rounds is a statistic that screams of problems.
Unión Santa Fe continues to fight for a place under the sun in the standings, but the season is clearly unfolding with a fair share of turbulence. The current 13th place and 11 points after 12 rounds are not the kind of baggage with which one can feel at ease. However, the "Tatengue" do not give up: the recent victory over Central Córdoba (1-0) is a clear signal that the team is alive and clings to every point.
The attack is a separate conversation. The striking force in the face of Verde, who has scored 3 goals in 11 matches, is not yet impressive. An average of 0.7 goals per game is a modest figure, but the last five rounds have brought a glimmer of hope: 6 goals hint at the awakening of the front line. In defense, Unión looks much stronger. Only four goals conceded in the last five matches is a decent result, especially against the backdrop of generally unstable play.
Probable lineups
- Defensa y Justicia: Bologna, Pérez, Balanta, Ferreira, Cannavo, Pérez, Gutiérrez, Larralde, Molinas, González, Miritiello
- Unión Santa Fe: Tagliamonte, Pitton, Faciendini, Martínez, Luduena, Vargas, Palacios, Profini, Pitton, Domina, Gamba
