REF’s picks

Defensa y Justicia head into this fixture in strong overall form and hold the tactical tools to frustrate Unión de Santa Fe on their own turf, making the visitors with a head start a sensible entry. Unión have dropped three consecutive matches and look vulnerable at the back, though their home crowd could inspire a sharper start than recent outings suggest.

1. 1Defensa sit comfortably near the upper reaches of the table and bring solid momentum with three wins from their last five.
2. 2Unión have struggled defensively of late, conceding heavily against top-half opponents.
3. 3Unión remain capable of causing problems at the Estadio 15 de Abril if allowed to dictate the tempo early.
