Defensa y Justicia and Independiente Face Off at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello: Who Will Secure Victory?

In the Argentine Primera Division, Defensa has struggled, losing two out of the three matches played so far and securing just one draw, leaving them languishing in 25th place on the table.

After Julio Vaccari's resignation following their Copa Sudamericana exit, Pablo Quatrocchi took over as interim manager before Francisco Meneghini was appointed permanently. Meneghini's tenure got off to a rocky start with a loss to Universidad Cesar Vallejo in the Copa Sudamericana group stage, but the upcoming match presents an opportunity to turn their league campaign around.

Defensa y Justicia will face Independiente, a team they have defeated in their last two encounters and remained unbeaten against in their last three meetings. However, their home record against Independiente in the past six matches has seen only one victory.

Independiente, meanwhile, arrives in better form, having lost only twice in their last 10 matches, with three wins and five draws. Yet, they are yet to secure a win in the Argentine Primera Division, managing only two draws and one loss in their three outings. Following Carlos Tevez's departure, Youth Coordinator Hugo Tocalli has been leading the team, securing a draw in his first match against Velez Sarsfield.
