Defensa y Justicia take on the visitors Belgrano in the round 20 match of Argentine Liga Professional. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 14th at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello (Gobernador Julio A. Costa).
Defensa y Justicia are trying to maintain a high level. "Halcón" managed to break into La Liga in 2014, almost at the end of the first decade of its existence. Although they reached the top level late, the team has already achieved several notable successes there. First and foremost, their victory in the Copa Sudamericana with Crespo in 2020. Before and after that, they were runners-up in the Argentine championship. However, the previous cycle brought a decline. In the Diego Maradona Cup in the spring of 2022, they made it to the playoffs, but in La Liga, they finished in 12th position. Even so, they managed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana, where they started with defeats but then won four times in a row. On their home turf, they alternate series of four wins with winless streaks.

Belgrano have returned to the country's top division. The "Celestes" haven't made a particularly impressive impact despite being founded in 1905. However, after climbing into La Liga in 2011, the team managed to establish themselves there and even achieve decent positions that allowed them to participate in the Copa Sudamericana. However, they were relegated in 2019, and only in 2022 did they manage to win the Primera B Nacional. It was crucial for them to simply hold on to the new-old level after that. And they are doing better than expected, holding their ground in the "international tournament zone." If they can maintain their position, they might once again qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. They recently had an unsuccessful stretch with only 1 point in 3 matches, but they managed to win 2-0 against Velez Sarsfield in the summer.
The teams last played against each other in 2018, and both matches ended in a 1-1 draw. The home team will be the favorite, but both "Halcón" and the visitors are not at their peak. Therefore, we will limit our prediction to "under 2.5 goals" total.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
