In a mid week match in week 13, on Monday May 2nd, Unión Santa Fe hosts Defensa y Justicia at Estadio 15 De Abril in a meeting of these two Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Unión Santa Fe is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Gimnasia La Plata. R. Sosa Acosta struck first for Gimnasia La Plata in the 48th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Unión Santa Fe couldn’t muster any offence and Gimnasia La Plata ran away with the shutout win. Unión Santa Fe is looking for direction having 4 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches, while defensa y Justicia is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Platense. Héctor Canteros scored the first goal for Platense in the 79th minute, then Miguel Merentiel tied it up for Defensa y Justicia in the 89th minute on a feed from Agustin Fontana earning Defensa y Justicia at least a draw. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Defensa y Justicia should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Miguel Merentiel has been the most prolific scorer on Defensa y Justicia in his last five matches with 3 goals. Matias Gallegos and Gaston Gonzalez are the top scorers for Unión Santa Fe in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
