🗞️ Team News: Defensa y Justicia
The Defensa y Justicia boss Julio Vaccari will be grateful to have no fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash owing to a completely healthy squad available to select from.
In all likelihood, Halcón look set to use a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, utilising Ezequiel Unsain, Agustín Sant'Anna, Julian Malatini, Santi Ramos Mingo, Alexis Soto, Rodrigo Bogarín, Julián López, Gabriel Alanis, L. Tomas Escalante, Gastón Togni and Nicolas Fernandez.
ℹ️ Team News: Racing Club
Racing Club boss Fernando Gago has a number of players out of action. Maximiliano Romero (Torn muscle bundle), Matías Rojas (Ankle Injury), Leonel Miranda (Ruptured cruciate ligament), Emiliano Vecchio (Ruptured cruciate ligament) and Johan Carbonero (Ruptured cruciate ligament) are those who can’t be considered.
We are inclined to think that La Academia could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, giving starts to Gabriel Arias, Facundo Mura, Leonardo Sigali, Jonathan Galván, Gabriel Rojas, Anibal Moreno, Juan Ignacio Nardoni, Nicolás Oroz, Héctor Fertoli, Paolo Guerrero and Emiliano Saliadarre.
✨ Prediction
We believe that Racing Club and Defensa y Justicia are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.
It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore anticipating a very even match with a 0-0 scoreline when all is said and done.
