⭐ Editor's Pick
Both sides have made a solid start to the season and go into this match with a genuine chance of winning. Home advantage gives Belgrano something of an edge, but Defensa y Justicia are in good form too and are unlikely to sit back and settle for a draw.

Our pick is Total Goals - Over 1.5. Expected score: 1-1.
