On the opening date of the 2023 Professional League Cup, Defensa y Justicia will host Godoy Cruz at the Norberto Tito Tomaghello Stadium. This first round clash sets the stage for two teams that finished among the league’s top ten last season, each aiming to kick off the campaign with momentum.
Defensa y Justicia finished sixth in the Binance Tournament, accumulating 44 points and securing a place in the upper echelon. Under the guidance of coach Julio Vaccari, the squad recently advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana after a 3-1 aggregate victory over Emelec. The win underscored their form and resilience as they prepare for the new league chapter.
Godoy Cruz, nicknamed La Tomba, ended the first half of the year ninth in the standings with 41 points. Led by coach Daniel Oldrá, the club is determined to build on that foundation and push toward continental league positions again in the second half of 2023. The team will be looking to translate domestic consistency into ongoing success across tournaments.
