Defensa y Justicia v Instituto : Primera División match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 18th Oct, 01:00 BST, Estadio José María Minella, Mar del Plata

Instituto are away on Sunday morning, as manager Diego Flores takes his side to visit Defensa y Justicia and Julio César Vaccari at the Estadio José María Minella in the Primera División. Form, head to head (H2H) stats, predictions and odds from leading bookmakers are all published below. It's our job to give you all the information you need to place a smart, well-informed bet. We've backed , but why not take a look and see if there's another bet you prefer?


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's fairly unlikely that this match will have 4+ goals, and the odds and stats align with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Defensa and Instituto haven't typically treated their fans to goal-fests of late, whether that be in Primera División individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.20.
