Banfield will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 2-1 Torneo Apertura loss in their previous game against Aldosivi.

In that game, Banfield managed 57% possession and 15 shots on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Banfield was Gabriel Vega (88'). On the other side, Aldosivi had 15 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Gonzalo Mottes (39') and Ayrton Preciado (67') scored for Aldosivi.

It has not been often in recent games where Banfield haven’t conceded. The reality is that Banfield have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 11 goals on the way. Even so, we’ll just have to find out if that trend shall be sustained here in this game.

📰 Team News: Banfield

The Banfield manager will be thankful to have no fitness worries at all ahead of this match with a fully injury-free group to choose from.

We are thinking that El Taladro look set to use a 4-2-3-1 formation this time with Facundo Sanguinetti, Ramiro Di Luciano, Alexis Maldonado, Joaquín Pombo, Ignacio Abraham, Gonzalo Ríos, Martín Rio, Geronimo Rivera, Santiago Esquivel, Agustin Alaniz and Marcos Arturia.

🗞️ Team News: Central Córdoba

Due to a completely healthy group available for selection, the Central Córdoba manager Omar de Felippe has no fitness concerns to report before this match.

It’s our belief that El Ferroviario will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Juan Pablo Zozaya, Santiago Moyano, Lucas Abascia, Lautaro Rivero, Brian Cufre, Jonathan Galván, José Florentín, Matías Perello, Nicolás Quagliata, Luis Miguel Angulo and Leonardo Heredia.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that Central Córdoba will have their work cut out to hit the back of the net against this Banfield outfit who we think will likely end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore see a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 advantage for Banfield when the full-time whistle blows.

Looking forward to this.
