Match preview: Defensa y Justicia vs Newell’s Old Boys
Defensa y Justicia and Newell’s Old Boys will meet at the Genancio Sálias Stadium for a 5th round Argentine Superleague clash. Historically, the home team has had the upper hand in their previous encounters, winning 2 of their last 3 games.

Noteworthy is that they’ve conceded 5 of their 13 goals in home matches between the 46th and 60th minutes.
Buoyed by their recent victory, Defensa y Justicia will look to assert their playing style in front of their fans and maintain an offensive mindset. Defensive solidity will also be crucial to counteract their opponent’s efforts. The objective is to secure three points to improve their position on the table, bringing additional motivation from their recent form into the match.

Solid defensive performance will be essential for them to secure a positive result. An away win could provide the necessary momentum to restore confidence in their league campaign.
