The Right Picks and Betting Tips for Independiente vs Defensa y Justicia

Defensa y Justicia to Win

The last time these two teams met, El Halcón already lost 2-1. Nowadays the away team has played better and is looking more and more solid.

On the other hand, El Rojo still have some things to correct in their performance. Regardless of the Independiente vs Defensa y Justicia line ups used for this match, we expect the away team to get another win.

Under 2.5 Goals

The away team’s success in recent matches is a product of their great defensive work, as by keeping the team only needs to score one or two goals to get the win.

On eight of the last nine occasions these two teams have met, the final score has been less than 2.5 goals. This factor was also repeated in four of the last five independent games.

BTTS – No

In El Halcon’s last two games, we didn’t see BTTS, simply because they prevented the opposing teams from even getting a chance to score.

The away team has been the first to score in six of their last 7 matchups, once they score they completely shut down defensively to prevent their opponents from equalizing. Our latest Independiente vs Defensa y Justicia prediction is that we will not see BTTS.

Independiente vs Defensa y Justicia Preview: City Derby

Independiente

After making their debut in this tournament with an important victory in their visit to Talleres, El Rojo have not been able to find their best level, after losing at home to Platense, and in the last matchday, they only drew with Velez Sarsfield.

The team coached by Leandro Stylitano needs to improve a lot, especially offensively, as they have a poor average of two shots on target per game. In addition, their average of big chances per game is not even 1.00.

Defensa y Justicia

Coach Julio Baccari is satisfied with his team’s performance in the last two matchdays in which they won two great victories and also kept a clean sheet. It should be added that previously they had already achieved their first victory in Copa Argentina.

In the last matchday, Defensa y Justicia played at home against Newells Old Boys. A goal by Kevin Gutierrez in the 28th minute was enough to get the three points. And the key to this victory was goalkeeper Ezequiel Unsaín who saved nine shots and kept a clean sheet for the second time in a row.
