Defensa y Justicia aims to control matches through high pressing and verticality using a 4-3-3. This formation is built to win the ball back high up the pitch and move quickly into the final third. The team seeks to dominate territory by using short passes to move the opponent out of position before hitting them with direct runs.

E. Unsain stays between the posts to command his area and sweep behind the defensive line when needed. The back four consists of a flat line where N. Molina acts as a right back to support the wide areas. A. Barboza and L. Martínez operate as the central defenders, with A. Barboza providing strength in the air while L. Martínez covers the space behind. R. Delgado plays as the left back to offer width and help with the buildup. The defensive unit works to maintain a high line to compress the pitch and squeeze the space.

The midfield operates as a three man midfield with a carrier and a single pivot. F. Cerro sits in the pivot role to shield the defence and recycle possession. L. Miranda and D. Blanco play as the two central midfielders who connect the defensive and attacking lines. L. Miranda works to drive forward with the ball into the half spaces while D. Blanco helps to win the second ball and press aggressively. This unit works to bridge the gap between the back four and the front three.

The attacking unit uses three attackers across the front to stretch the defence. N. Fernández acts as a pressing centre forward to force long balls from the opposition. On the flanks, C. Rios plays as an inverted winger to cut inside and create chances, while G. Togni stays wider to provide width and deliver crosses. The team builds play through the middle before looking to split the defence with a through ball. They look to create runs in behind or find the feet of the striker in tight spaces.

Defensa y Justicia gains a major advantage from their ability to press high in coordinated waves. This setup allows for numerical superiority in the central areas when the midfielders step up. The formation also provides speed of transition, allowing the wingers and striker to exploit gaps immediately after a turnover.

The 4-3-3 formation relies on intense pressing and quick forward movement. It is best suited for matches against opponents that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
