Defense and Justice will receive Vélez in the match that will open the 9th date of the 2023 Professional League tournament.
The match will be played from 8:00 p.m. at the Norberto Tomaghello stadium, with arbitration by Ariel Penel and broadcast by Public TV and ESPN Premium.
After the break for the FIFA date, the “Halcón” will seek to return to victory and remain temporarily as the only escort for the leader River Plate, before the debut in the Copa Sudamericana.
Vélez, for his part, will try to add the first victory as a visitor of the new cycle of Ricardo Gareca.
Defensa y Justicia, who is third with 14 points, lost against Platense (1-0) in Vicente López and now has three dates without winning.
“Fortín” got back on track after the departure of Uruguayan Alexander “Cacique” Medina and is now in tenth position with 12 units.
The win on the last date against Central Córdoba (4-0) in Liniers left good feelings and “Tigre” Gareca plans to repeat the team.
The striker Lucas Janson is already recovered from the injury he suffered before Gareca’s debut against Platense (date 7) but he will surely be among the substitutes.
Defensa y Justicia would have two returns since the defender Tomás Cardona fulfilled the suspension date and would enter for Santiago Ramos Mingo, while Gabriel Alanis, recovered from an injury, would replace the Paraguayan Rodrigo Bogarín.
Julio Vaccari’s team, former DT from Vélez, will then focus on the debut in the Copa Sudamericana that will be next Tuesday against Millonarios in Colombia.
The “hawk” is part of group F completed by Peñarol, from Uruguay, and América Minas Gerais, from Brazil.
Defensa y Justicia and Vélez met eight times in the First Division, with four wins for “Fortín” against two for “Halcón”, and two draws.
