Defensa y Justicia v Argentinos in Varela: battle for top spots | OneFootball

From 16:15, the Falcon will seek to win again at home and get closer to the top of the Clausura Tournament, while the Bug wants to extend its unbeaten streak and surpass them in the standings.

The Norberto Tomaghello Stadium will be the stage this Friday for an attractive duel between Defensa y Justicia and Argentinos Juniors facing off from 16:15 for the 12th round of the Clausura Tournament. Two teams with similar styles, betting on offensive play and arriving with similar realities, promise a high-flying clash in Florencio Varela.

The team led by Mariano Soso comes from a 1-1 draw against Tigre in Victoria, in a match where they felt disadvantaged by a non-awarded penalty. Before that, they had defeated Boca 2-1 with a double from Abiel Osorio, one of the great figures of the tournament. With 16 points, the Falcon is just one point behind the leaders and knows that a victory in front of their fans could place them at the top.

On the side of Argentinos Juniors, the present is also positive. The Bug has three matches unbeaten (two wins and a draw) and seeks to continue growing under Nicolás Diez, who keeps the team competitive on all fronts. With 15 points, the team from La Paternal will try to add points away from home to surpass their rival in the standings and arrive confidently at the Copa Argentina match against Belgrano, still pending official confirmation.

Before the start of the match, a minute of silence will be held in memory of Miguel Ángel Russo, a historic Argentine coach who passed away this Wednesday at the age of 69 after a long battle with cancer.

Probable lineup for Defensa y Justicia: Enrique Bologna; Ezequiel Cannavo, Lucas Ferreira, Damián Fernández, Rafael Delgado, Alexis Soto; Kevin Gutiérrez, Lucas González, Aarón Molinas; Juan Miritello and Abiel Osorio. Coach: Mariano Soso.
