Defensa y Justicia vs Sarmiento

Defensa y Justicia is in the middle of the fight for a place in the next Copa Libertadores. Despite being just six points off the bottom, a total of five points separates them from third place in the standings, so they must maintain a perfect record and hope for unfavorable results in their next two games.

After a negative period in recent games, Sarmiento finds itself relegated from the possibility of securing a place in upcoming international tournaments. Therefore, the team should focus on picking up points to improve their average for next season.

With 11 wins in 25 games, it should be noted that Defensa y Justicia has managed to maintain an excellent performance throughout the season, with only 6 games that the team has managed to lose during this period.

Currently, there are 4 games without losing, but the team has managed two draws recently, the last of which was against Godoy Cruz, with a result of 2 - 2. These draws have complicated the team's chances.

These draws have complicated the team's chances of getting enough points to move closer to the top of the table, but they still have a chance of clinching third place, which gives them access to the play-offs.

Playing at home, Defensa y Justicia have shown an excellent level, as they have managed a total of six wins in the 13 games played, losing only twice, and maintaining a series of 10 games without losing in their own stadium, taking into account all the tournaments played.

Having managed to maintain a good performance between April and May, Sarmiento generated some chances to fight for access to an international tournament for the first time in its history, however, with the latest results, hopes have been diluted.

The green team have won just once in their last nine games, while draws and defeats have accounted for four of each of those results.

They are currently on a four-game winless streak and have managed just one of the last 12 points played, following a 1-1 draw in their last game against Velez Sarsfield.
