Prediction

Following their Copa Sudamericana exit, Defensa y Justicia can put full focus on domestic football which is much needed after a poor start to Primera Division.
Winless in their last eight matches in all competitions, Defensa y Justicia will be keen to arrest their slide whilst they remain in touching distance of the higher reaches of the league table.
Independiente continue their search for a new manager so instability remains ahead of this one.
Following a positive end to Copa de la Liga, Independiente haven't been able to translate that form to Primera Division so far, spelling the end of Carlos Tevez's tenure.
