Estudiantes L.P. vs Defensa Y Justicia
📖 The Preview
Estudiantes are sitting top of the table and absolutely have to keep winning, so expect them to come out with real intensity here. Defensa Y Justicia are in serious trouble near the bottom, only three points clear of the drop zone, and their recent form is a mess - six losses in their last ten tells you they're struggling badly right now. The head-to-head leans Estudiantes' way too, four wins against two defeats. A clean sheet fits perfectly given neither side looks likely to trade goals freely in this one.
