Three wins in ten matches and a battle for the playoffs

Total Goals Prediction
The over 1.5 goals bet has landed in 12 of Defensa y Justicia’s last 14 home matches. At home, Defensa y Justicia have averaged 1.5 goals per game, while Independiente have scored an average of 1.4 goals in their recent away fixtures. However, the hosts have conceded just 0.25 goals per home match recently, and the visitors have allowed only 0.6 per away game, which tempers expectations for a high-scoring affair. The pick is over 1.5 total goals at odds of 1.36*.
Corners Prediction
The over 8.5 corners market has hit in eight consecutive Defensa y Justicia matches. In their last five home games, even the higher line of 9.5 corners has been surpassed. Looking at six recent head-to-head clashes on Defensa y Justicia's turf, the total stayed under 10.5, but that still leaves room for nine or ten corners to be recorded. The recommended bet is over 8.5 corners at odds of 1.58*.
