Defensa y Justicia vs Platense Prediction & Betting Tips (29 July)

Platense bring some phenomenal form into this fixture, having secured 15 victories in their last 20 Liga Profesional matches, including five in a row recently. The picture has been a very different one as far as Defensa y Justicia are concerned of late, with a run of seven defeats in nine games doing little to boost their survival chances in what threatens to be a hard-fought battle.

Defensa y Justicia could hardly be described as the great entertainers at the moment, as 17 of their last 20 top-flight home games, including each of the most recent 11, have served up two goals or fewer. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Platense are concerned on their travels, with 17 of their previous 20 matches at this level also producing under 2.5 goals.

Over the course of their last 20 Liga Profesional matches, Platense have kept an impressive tally of 15 clean sheets, so finding a way through against Platense can prove difficult. Given that just three of the most recent 15 top-flight fixtures involving Defensa y Justicia have served up goals at both ends of the pitch, it is hard to see much of a deviation from the script.
