Defensa y Justicia and San Lorenzo will face off in the cup semifinal at a neutral location in La Plata on Thursday. The two teams, who competed in the same Copa De La Liga Profesional group, have a similar point tally. San Lorenzo currently holds the 10th spot in the competition with 15 points from 13 games, while Defensa y Justicia is just behind with one point less.

Defensa y Justicia’s recent performance has been poor, failing to secure a win in their last five matches. Conversely, San Lorenzo has had slightly better luck, managing two victories in their last 12 games. However, the majority of these games ended in draws.

Interestingly, just about a week ago, Defense y Justicia and San Lorenzo had their previous head-to-head match, which saw San Lorenzo claiming a 1-0 victory on the road. Despite both teams having a similar number of shots on goal, the visiting team had more significant goal-scoring chances. The Expected Goals (XG) statistics highlighted this, with Defensa y Justicia recording just 0.21 compared to San Lorenzo’s 1.17. The three points secured by San Lorenzo were certainly well earned.

Defensa y Justicia vs San Lorenzo pick: Under 2.5 goals

Defensa y Justicia are struggling to score goals, having netted just six in their last nine matches across all competitions. Contrastingly, San Lorenzo has scored four goals in their most recent four games. Therefore, a bet of under 2.5 goals seems to be the most sensible for this fixture.
