REF’s picks

Taking Defensa with a half-goal head start provides good value given their superior momentum entering this clash.

1. 1Defensa's recent results outweigh their hosts' struggles in the league table.
2. 2Talleres will find it hard to secure a comfortable multi-goal victory in their current state of form.
3. 3An outright home win by a narrow margin remains a constant danger for this handicap selection.
