What to expect
We expect about 1.4 goals from Defensa y Justicia and 0.9 from Platense, so Defensa y Justicia come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Defensa y Justicia come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Under 2.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.3 goals in total (xG 1.4-0.9), keeping it under more often than not (about 60%). Clear chances should be at a premium.
We put the chance of that landing at about 60 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.45, which works out at about 69 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

One thing to watch
It only takes one early goal to change how both sides play, and a low total can unravel in a single quick spell. The price is shorter than our own read of about 60%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
