Talleres Cordoba’s home record meets Defensa Y Justicia’s Clausura form

A Clausura contrast at the Kempes

Talleres Cordoba enter Round 14 in 15th place in Clausura - Group A, with 9 points from 13 games. Defensa Y Justicia are third in the same table, with 24 points from 13 games. The positions are provisional before Saturday’s match at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes, scheduled for 20:00 UTC.

The wider Apertura table offers a different picture: Talleres are fourth with 26 points from 16 games, while Defensa are 10th with 19. Talleres are seven points ahead of Defensa in that table, with Estudiantes L.P. leading on 31 points.

Home numbers against away numbers

Talleres’ home record this season is 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. They have scored 14 home goals, averaging 0.90 per home game, and conceded 16, with five clean sheets. Defensa’s away record is 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, with 18 goals scored, an average of 1.30 per away game, and 19 conceded. They have kept four away clean sheets.

Recent sequences and setup

Across the supplied 30-match form sample, Talleres’ most recent five results are loss, loss, draw, draw, loss. Defensa’s are draw, win, draw, win, draw. Both teams have most often used a 4-2-3-1, recorded in 14 Talleres matches and 11 Defensa matches.

The key question at kickoff is whether Talleres’ home defensive record can withstand Defensa’s stronger Clausura campaign and away scoring record.
