Defensa y Justicia vs Sacachispas tips and predictions

Unlikely stalemate possible

Defensa y Justicia may be a level above Sacachispas but it is hard to get excited about backing them.

The hosts are a short price but they are hard to back at that price. The big price draw looks like better value.

Defensa y Justicia are odds-on favourites but that short price renders them a no-bet. Sacachispas don't look likely to produce a result but they might keep the hosts honest.

Few could argue with the idea that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet due to the overwhelming favouritism for Defensa y Justicia. But with odds-against available on the BTTS Yes that would be the recommended play.

Defensa y Justicia have drawn 6 of their last 12 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Arsenal Sarandi last week. Sacachispas have drawn 9 of their last 10 away matches. Their most recent tied match was when they shared the spoils with CA Mitre last Sunday and while the prediction is for any draw, a 1-1 scoreline cannot be written off here. So both sides will like their chances but with no interest in the match odds for either team, the value in the draw price makes it the top pick for this verdict.

Of course, Sacachispas are a second tier side so it remains to be seen how they adapt to the challenge presented by their superior rivals who will also be enjoying home advantage.
