Defensa vs Velez Sarsfield – Defensa y Justicia and Velez Sarsfield have both started slowly in the Argentine Primera Division. The hosts are winless after four games and sit 26th in a close bottom half, while their opponents are only a point better off after a first win.
Defensa y Justicia finished third in their group before falling to Boca Juniors in the quarterfinals in the first phase of the Argentinian top-flight season.
They haven’t won in four games after a goalless draw against River Plate. Sebastian Beccacece’s side drew 1-1 with Lanus and Huracan before traveling to Godoy Cruz. They left empty-handed.
Francisco Pizzini gave the Halcon a 13th-minute lead, but Guillermo Ortiz equalized and Salomon Rodriguez won. Now 26th in the 28-team league due to a slow start, Beccacece’s men will attempt for their first three-point haul of the season on Saturday.
