Chaco For Ever vs Defensa y Justicia Prediction: Can Chaco For Ever make another miracle?

Defensa y Justicia already were knocked out of one big competition, Copa Sudamericana, and they had high hopes and ambitions there. Now in the quarter-final of Copa Argentina, they will try to make up and bring some joy to their fans. Chaco For Ever on the other hand were already seen as knocked out of this competition, but somehow against all odds they are in the quarter-finals. The match between them will be played in a neutral location in Santa Fe on Estadio 15 de Abril.

Form: DWWWL

Chaco For Ever won against Villa Mitre in the last round on penalties, and what is interesting they were the underdog in most of the matches they played in the Copa Argentina and yet they won against much bigger teams like Godoy Cruz and Arsenal Sarandi. Chaco For Ever are in great form and in the last 5 matches they have 3 wins, a draw, and a defeat. They are in 13th position and very far from places that lead to playoffs, so they will give everything to win in this match and advance to the semi-final.

Form: WDLLL

Last week Defensa y Justicia were knocked out of the Copa Sudamericana and it hurt the team, but in the last match, they managed to win in the Copa de la Liga Profesional against Lanus as visitors. However, this is a knockout phase match and the stakes are higher. They are a better team than Chaco For Ever, but in the last 5 matches, they have a win, a draw, and 3 defeats. In the previous round, they won against Estudiantes Rio Cuarto on penalties. There aren’t any absent players in the team and they will attack and try to win this match in the regular 90 minutes.

Defensa y Justicia have the ambition to get to the very end of this competition. In the semi-final, these teams will face San Lorenzo, another difficult opponent. Chaco For Ever are certainly hoping to make another miracle against a bigger and stronger team, but in my opinion, at this stage, they don’t have enough to oppose a team like Defensa y Justicia. In the previous matches, Defensa y Justicia played with a mixed squad as they were still in the Copa Sudamericana which was their focus, but now they will go all in into this match and I expect them to win confidently.
