Prediction published on 22/06/2022, 22:34  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

On Match Day 5 of the second phase of the Argentinian topflight, Defensa y Justicia are set to host Velez Sarsfield. So far it has been a struggle for Defensa and they are placed 26th in the league standings with three points. Velez Sarsfield are 19th on four points. The hosts managed to get to the quarter finals of the first phase, but in the second, things are tough so far, and the team has no win after four games. They are actually winless in their last seven matches across all competitions and have just two clean sheets to show in their last 10 matches. In two of their last three home matches, Defensa have failed to score, and have just one win in five home games.

Velez Sarsfield are on a much better run, though in their last three matches, they’ve suffered two losses and also failed to score in two. Those two losses are however their only defeats in the last 10 matches, and they have six wins in that run. With just three clean sheets in the last 10 matches, Velez Sarsfield will feel a strong need to turn things around defensively. They are coming from a 2-0 home win over Rosario Central and they will try to build on it. One win in 13 away league games isn’t a very encouraging run for Velez Sarsfield, and this too is an area they will want to address. In the last four meetings with Defensa, Velez Sarsfield haven’t won any, and they failed to score in two of the last three.
