They are unbeaten after four league matches (3W-1D) and sit second on 10 points, while Defensa y Justicia have already dropped points and carry a negative goal difference. The venue angle is also strong: Vélez have won their last two at home, whereas Defensa have lost four straight away games. Add in Vélez's defensive edge and their unbeaten record in the last five meetings with Defensa, and the matchup tilts clearly toward the hosts.
