Defensa y Justicia vs Sarmiento Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Profesional Argentina
by Joseph King | in Football Predictions
Only two fixtures remain in the Argentina Primera Division first phase as fifth-place Defensa y Justicia host 17th-place Sarmiento. Defensa y Justicia are chasing Copa Libertadores qualification as they sit one spot out with the top four earning entry. They trail fourth-place Lanus by only a single point, meaning next season’s continental competition status will be determined by the final two matchdays. As things currently stand, Defensa would be playing in next season’s Copa Sudamericana, South America’s equivalent to the Europa League. It’s been a successful season so far for the hosts who are also into the final 16 of this season’s Copa Sudamericana following their first-place finish in Group F. They’re coming off a 1-0 home win over Centro Español in the Copa Argentina four days ago, extending their unbeaten run to six games. D&J have looked vulnerable defensively in their latest Primera Division fixtures, allowing five goals in their last three league matches.
Sarmiento don’t have much left to play for as they will finish firmly in the mid-table. They trail the top 10, and a subsequent place in the Copa Sudamericana, by eight points. It’s been a difficult stretch of form for the Verdolaga as they’ve recorded just one victory in their last nine league fixtures. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-1 home draw with Velez, a result which snapped a three game losing streak. It was also the first time that Sarmiento had scored since June 26th as the club continues to struggle putting the ball in the net this campaign. They’ve done a decent job at picking up results on the road despite their lack of offensive threat, though. Sarmiento have won or drawn in seven of their 13 trips, averaging a total of 1.00 point earned per away fixture.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our Defensa y Justicia vs Sarmiento Prediction
Defensa y Justicia have been somewhat fortunate this season in terms of their home defensive record. The underlying numbers show that they should be conceding at a much higher rate than they currently are. Additionally, Sarmiento have underperformed in terms of their overall goal output, especially as the away team where they have scored just seven times. With Sarmiento’s excellent recent record against Defensa, it wouldn’t come as a huge surprise if they were able to get on the scoresheet here. The hosts should also be able to register at least a goal given their strong recent scoring run. Our Defensa y Justicia vs Sarmiento prediction is for both teams to score.
