Defensa y Justicia 1-0 Barracas Central - Liga Profesional 2024 Statistical Preview

With the arrival of a new coach and a quick turnaround in fixtures, team selection will be a relative unknown for Defensa here.
One definite absentee will be Lucas Ferreira after his sending off against Instituto.

Alex Juarez will return from suspension here and will be available to the caretaker management team.
One piece of good news for Barracas is the return of a key cog in Facundo Mater who returned from long term injury last time out.

Prediction

A 4-1 defeat to Instituto made Defensa's upturn in form a short-lived endeavour and spelled the end of Francisco Meneghini's time in charge of the Club.
Defensa y Justicia have been quick to replace their outgoing Head Coach with the appointment of former Reserve Coach Pablo De Muner who is an unexperienced choice.
A loss to league leaders Velez Sarsfield was anticipated for Barracas Central, but the nature of the 5-0 loss was enough for Alejandro Orfila to tender his resignation as Head Coach.
Barracas Central are without a win in eight matches in all competitions and now find themselves without a permanent boss ahead of this one.
