Defensa y Justicia host Instituto in a match where the two teams are battling directly for the top of the table. The hosts just won 2-0 in their last match, while the visitors drew 2-2 in a game where their defence is starting to show cracks. The hosts are on an unbeaten run of 4 matches, and at home they concede few goals, averaging only 0.9 per match from 14 matches played at this ground. Meanwhile Instituto away from home average 1.29 points and score only 1.0 per match, a team whose attacking game on the road is not as sharp as at home. This match is likely to be one where both sides start cautiously, especially in the first half where the hosts usually open the game better, but in the second half the visitors tend to push up and have more chances to score than early on. The game may not be open and end-to-end from the start, and the goal moments are likely to come from mistakes rather than long sustained attacks.
