Defensa y Justicia take on the visitors Chapecoense-SC at “Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello” in the first-leg clash of the 1/16 stage of the Copa Sudamericana. The match will be played in Buenos Aires on Thursday, June 28th.
Defensa y Justicia come up to the game in the great form and high spirit as the side won last three encounters: 3:0 vs. Atletico Tucuman, 3:2 vs. Temperley and 1:0 vs. Gimnasia L.P. In the Argentine Primera Division which has finished recently, “Halcon” settled on the 10th place in the table with 49 points earned and 31-23 goal difference. Defensa y Justicia have knocked out already another Brazilian team – Sao Paulo with 0:0 and 1:1 scorelines in the first round of the Copa Sudamericana. The Argentines showed powerful football in front of their supporters: in 2017 they got seven victories, three draws and only one defeat in 11 matches.

On the contrary, Chapecoense-SC lost their last three clashes: 0:2 vs. Botafogo RJ, 1:5 vs. Flamengo RJ and 0:1 vs. Atletico-MG. In regard to the Brazilian Serie A, “Chapeco” occupy the 13th position in the standings with 13 points gained and 14-19 goal difference after 10 rounds. The Brazilians will enter the international cup in the forthcoming battle not having played in the first matchday. In 2017 Chapecoense-SC participated in 20 encounters on the road resulting in eight triumphs, two draws and 10 losses.
The Argentines and the Brazilians have never met before. The rivals’ come up the head-to-head in different competitive forms, whereby the Argentines demonstrate impressive football that can’t be said about Chapecoense-SC. Bearing in mind mentioned above, I believe that the Argentines will win.
Prediction for the match: Defensa y Justicia to win.
