Defensa y Justicia will receive Arsenal on Monday in search of his fifth straight win to continue at the top of Zone A of the Professional League Cup. The match for date 7 will be played from 19.15 at the Néstor “Tito” Tomaghello stadium, with refereeing by Nicolás Lamolina and broadcast by TNT Sports.

Sebastián Beccacece's team beat Argentinos Juniors 1-0 with an agonizing goal from Tomás Galvan and scored their fourth win in a row that left them at the top of Zone A alongside River Plate.

After the victory of Racing Club and the draw for Union, Defensa needs to add another victory to stay in the lead.

Arsenal, for his part, will try to recover since last week he was eliminated by penalties from the 32nd finals of the Argentine Cup against Chaco For Ever and reached the four games without wins and is eleventh (among 14 teams) in Zone 2.

The Falcon is clear and will repeat the team for the third consecutive date. The squad of Florencio Varela, the current runner-up in Argentine football, will look for another win that will allow him to become the absolute leader of Zone 1.

On the side of the Viaduct ensemble, Leonardo Madelón would use the basis of the formation that drew against Velez Sarsfield without goals on the last day.

Probable formations

Defense and Justice: Ezequiel Unsain; Nicolas Tripichio, Adonis Frias, Nazareno Colombo and Alexis Soto; Kevin Gutierrez and Raúl Loaiza; Francisco Pizzini, Walter Bou and Carlos Rotondi; Miguel Merentiel. DT: Sebastian Beccacece.

In the second round of this day, Argentinos Juniors and Vélez Sarsfield will face each other in La Paternal in search of the same goal: to return to victory in the Professional League Cup. The match will be played at 21.30 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, with Fernando Rapallini as the referee, and will be televised on Fox Sports Premium.

El Bicho has four rounds without winning in Zone 1 with two draws and two defeats, the last 1-0 at home against Defense and Justice. In the middle, Gabriel Milito's team won a Copa Argentina win against Olimpo, but in the League Cup it is in debt where it ranks eighth in its group.

The captain and defender of Argentinos, Miguel Torrén, will remain on leave due to trauma to the right iliac crest.

For its part, the Fortin comes from two draws in a row: 1-1 against Estudiantes de La Plata and 0-0 against Arsenal with a poor performance and remains last in Zone 2.

Mauricio Pellegrino, coach of Velez, will be able to count on Uruguayans Matias De los Santos and Sebastián Sosa Sánchez, who recovered from their respective injuries.

In addition, midfielder Santiago Cáseres would start after entering the draw against Arsenal to replace Máximo Perrone.

Probable formations
