Team News

Defensa y Justicia
Independiente
  • Luciano Herrera's Copa Sudamericana red card last time out will be served here following Defensa's continental exit.
  • A number of injury concerns see changes become a neccessity here.
  • Independiente may remain unchanged under caretaker charge to find some much needed consistency.

Prediction

  • Following their Copa Sudamericana exit, Defensa y Justicia can put full focus on domestic football which is much needed after a poor start to Primera Division.
  • Winless in their last eight matches in all competitions, Defensa y Justicia will be keen to arrest their slide whilst they remain in touching distance of the higher reaches of the league table.
  • Independiente continue their search for a new manager so instability remains ahead of this one.
  • Following a positive end to Copa de la Liga, Independiente haven't been able to translate that form to Primera Division so far, spelling the end of Carlos Tevez's tenure.
