River Plate vs Defensa y Justicia preview: Can the guests stay in third place?
River Plate
Not only did River Plate win the title for the first time since 2014, they also did it in incredible fashion, by going on a huge streak without a loss. At the moment, the team has avoided a loss in the last eighteen games, winning fifteen of those matches and only drawing in three of them. Angileri, De la Cruz, and Suarez will miss the next match in the league with injuries.
Defensa y Justicia
This has been a very successful season for Defensa y Justicia since the team is currently sitting in the third place in the standings and they are on a run of eight wins and two draws in the last ten games. So, it’s more than likely that they can keep the third spot at the end of the season, but they need to do well in the remaining games or the risk being overtaken by a few other teams. Amade, Cardona, and Ortiz are injured and out of the next game.
