We've got an interesting tango on our hands with Defensa y Justicia and Banfield setting up for yet another dance-off. No golden oldies in sight here in the previous matchup, with Defensa y Justicia playing the role of heartbreaker, beating Banfield 1 nil.
Seasonal performances aren't exactly stuff of legends either with Banfield seemingly taking every opportunity to turn a win into a draw or, even better, a loss. Going 5-9-13, it's almost like they're playing a game of bingo with mediocrity. Defensa y Justicia, with 7-11-9 still have seen brighter days. But hey, why fuss about the regular season?
These old mates last went head to head and it was a consistent trickle of zero losses and one beautiful draw. That's right, our friends over at Banfield haven't seen the sweet victory in a bit, creating a gloominess that ought to dampen any spirited run.
Finally, Defensa y Justicia, ever the bridesmaid, never the bride recently, have had a consistent paycheck of one draw after another. It's not glamorous, but at least they're banking points.
If I were to summon my inner sports oracle, I'd bet my left sock on Defensa y Justicia for this game, ya'know? There's nothing left to be said but -
