ℹ️ Team News: Racing Club

The Racing Club boss Gustavo Costas will be grateful not to have any fitness worries whatsoever ahead of this clash thanks to a completely injury-free squad available to choose from.

It looks as if La Academia look set to go for a 4-4-2 formation for this one and select Facundo Cambeses, Nazareno Colombo, Santiago Sosa, Agustin Basso, Gaston Martirena, Juan Ignacio Nardoni, Agustin Almendra, Gabriel Rojas, Luciano Dario Vietto, Adrian Martinez and Maximiliano Salas.

📋 Team News: Banfield

Due to a completely healthy group available to select from, the Banfield boss has no fitness worries to report ahead of this clash.

We’re of the thinking that El Taladro seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Facundo Sanguinetti, Ramiro Di Luciano, Paul Riveros, Joaquin Pombo, Mathias De Ritis, Santiago Lopez, Martin Rio, Tomas Adoryan, Damian Diaz, Gonzalo Rios and Tomas Nasif.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Racing Club will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

However, Banfield are also probably going to find it difficult to get a goal of their own but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.

We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Racing Club at the end of this one.
