El Fortín are rolling into Round 5 on the back of three wins from their last five, including a gutsy 3-1 away at Talleres. Defensa y Justicia arrive in Liniers having conceded in all five of their recent outings, shipping 10 goals in the process. The contrast in defensive solidity could not be sharper.
Velez have kept 2 clean sheets in 5 and scored in 4 of those games. Defensa have zero clean sheets in their last 5, conceded in all 5, and gone over 2.5 goals in 4 of them. The market prices Velez at 1.80 - a home side with genuine form against a side that cannot stop leaking.
Give me Velez on the home win at 1.80. The DNB at 1.27-1.30 is too tight for the risk, so the straight win at 1.80 is where the value sits. Defensa's defensive record on the road is an invitation.
