The date of the League Cup classics continues this Monday with two matches that will face Defensa y Justicia against Arsenal in Florencio Varela and in the second round, Argentinos Juniors against Velez, in La Paternal. These are the details of these matches on the seventh day of the tournament.
Defense and Justice - Arsenal
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.
