With the closing of the first half of the league, it's a good time to examine the tactics of Defensa y Justicia. They have showcased a style that combines fast attacking play with a robust defensive scheme. However, there are aspects that require attention.
In defense, D. Cáceres and the backline have generally been solid, averaging just 1.2 goals conceded per match. However, in critical matches, they have shown vulnerabilities at set pieces, where they have conceded several goal opportunities.
On the attacking end, players like É. Banega and Mateo Aguiar are key to creating plays. Banega, in particular, possesses exceptional vision, allowing him to assist forwards regularly. In a recent analysis, it was found that Defensa y Justicia has a conversion rate of 15% on shots on target, a figure that could improve.
As the season progresses, the team needs to focus on adjusting their play in high-pressure situations. Opponents have started identifying their weaknesses, and unless addressed, these could be the cause of a stumble at crucial moments.
