Defensa y Justicia hosts Talleres Cordoba in round 14 of Argentinean Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 5th at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello (Gobernador Julio A. Costa)
Defensa y Justicia received its first trophy in 2020. The team won the Copa Sudamericana, the South American equivalent of the Europa League. But after that, Hernan Crespo (a legendary striker in the past, who also turned out to be a promising coach) went to work in Brazil. And the project is not nearly as good now as it was in the previous season. Defensa y Justicia still managed to reach the Copa Libertadores playoffs, but it couldn’t oppose anything to Flamengo in the 1/8 finals (0-1 at home, 1-4 away). The results in the local championship are weak either. The season cannot be called a failure, as the Hawks lost only four out of 13 last matches. But there were even fewer victories (three), and, most importantly, Beccacece's charges have not beaten anyone in five games in a row.

Talleres Cordoba jerkily rose from the 3rd division of the country. The Blue-Whites played there back in 2015, and in two years they achieved two promotions in a row. But in the Primera Division, they couldn’t boast of high results until this season. Alexander Medina's are in the second place so far, lagging behind such a grandee as River Plate by only one point. Having stalled at the start (one victory and four points scored in the first four rounds), Talleres began to demonstrate almost perfect statistics. If we look at the next nine games, the Blue-Whites lost points only in the match against Partonato, limiting themselves to a goalless draw. All other games were won, and it is not surprising that the club has 29 points after 13 rounds and takes second place in the standings.
In this pair, the factor of the pitch on which the match is held plays an important role. The host side achieved at least a draw in the last seven head-to-head confrontations. However, after five victories of the hosts, Talleres gained a 2-2 draw away in April. It is unlikely that Defensa y Justicia will be able to interrupt the successful streak of Talleres Cordoba. We bet on the victory of the visitors with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Talleres Cordoba to win with 0.0 handicap
