Draw odds: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%

Defensa y Justicia odds: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%

If you fancy over 2.5 goals to be hit the net, you can back that outcome with an implied probability of 41.7%, at 7/5 (2.40).

Platense vs Defensa y Justicia Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates, Platense vs Defensa y Justicia lineups and team news for Sunday’s Copa Liga Profesional contest below.

Platense

Attacker Mauro Quiroga is absent for Platense, though the hosts have few personnel issues beyond that. Platense were comfortably beaten 3-1 at Boca Juniors in their last assignment.

Predicted Lineup for Platense: Macagno – Morgantini, Vazquez, Suso, Marcich – Castrol, Rossi, Gudino, Ferreyra, Zalazar – Martinez

Defensa y Justicia

Gabriel Alanis has a muscle problem and the midfielder will miss the next few weeks for Defensa. The visitors have a strong squad to choose from elsewhere, however.

Predicted Lineup for Defensa y Justicia: Bologna – Sant'Anna, Malatini, Cardona, Soto – Barbona, Gutierrez, Lopez – Solari, Togni, Fernandez

Player to Watch – Nicolas Fernandez

With 11 league goals in the bag already, Nicolas Fernandez has been Defensa y Justicia’s main man up front this season and the 27-year-old should be his team’s biggest threat again when they visit Platense on Sunday.
