The Norberto Tomaghello Stadium in Greater Buenos Aires will play host to a close battle between Defensa y Justicia and Belgrano on Tuesday. This Liga Professional match will see the eighth-placed hosts start one point behind their seventh-placed visitors. Defensa y Justicia have seen their league game against River Plate suspended due to a death of supporter in the stands. Their last game was in the continental Copa Sudamericana competition where they won against Penarol. The hosts will be desperate for that form to replicate in the league. Especially since they are winless across four matches with three draws and a defeat. Getting back to winning ways would be crucial to maintain their top-eight aspirations. It could be the defensive capabilities that play a critical role as they conceded only 12 goals so far. Only two teams have conceded fewer goals so far in the league.

Belgrano aren’t doing bad in that count as their record of 15 goals conceded is just behind that of their hosts. The visitors are impressive in their promoted season and are already punching above their weight. A 2-0 win in their last league match is a welcome sign as they look for some consistency in results. Belgrano have won just two of their last six league games, which came after a run of four straight victories. While their defence has held firm, scoring has let them down. That’s true at least on the trips as Belgrano have failed to score in their last three away league matches, going to lose each time.
