Superliga: Top-drawer against below average, at least according to the league table. Defensa y Justicia - Colón. Home victory or a shock?

- Colón have won significantly less corners away then at home.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Argentina game only four days ago.

Defensa y Justicia have collected 11 points from their Superliga home games so far after 3-2-2.
Defensa y Justicia are confident in defense, having played 275 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
It's back home for Justicia, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Barracas Central away with the result 2-0. Togni and Cardona found the net in that victory. Defender Cardona got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.05/10. Cardona scored one goal and won 7 of 11 duels.
Preceding that result, a home win against America Mineiro in the Copa Sudamericana. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Defensa y Justicia have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 5 and lost 0.
It should be added that a glance at the 12 most recent league matches shows that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Defensa y Justicia as they have a new game in only four days, a Copa Sudamericana match thankfully also at home. Penarol are visiting.
