Separated by just three places in the table, Defensa y Justicia and Gimnasia Mendoza meet in a pivotal clash for the final playoff spots in the Liga Profesional.
Defensa y Justicia enter this fixture in 10th place on 19 points, sitting just two points adrift of the knockout stage places. Julio Vaccari’s side saw their momentum halted last time out with a 1-0 defeat at Lanus, but they remain formidable at the Norberto Tomaghello, having recently secured home wins against Platense and Newell’s Old Boys.
Gimnasia Mendoza sit 11th, also on 19 points, but trailing on goal difference. Darío Franco’s men are in excellent spirits after a four-match unbeaten run, which included a 3-0 thrashing of Independiente and a 2-2 draw with Boca Juniors. They are currently just two points and three places off the playoff places, making this a direct 'six-pointer' for the post-season.
