On Tuesday night, San Martin San Juan host Banfield in the Argentinian Superliga, as both teams look to move into the Copa Sudamericana spots.
San Martin are currently 15th in the Argentinian top-flight table having claimed just 14 points from their ten games so far. Their recent form in the Superliga has not been great, as they have now failed to win in their last three league outings, suffering defeats in their last two games against San Lorenzo and Temperley.
Goals have been relatively hard to come by for San Martin, who have scored just ten goals in their last nine league outings.
San Martin have a mixed home record in the Superliga, winning three and losing two of their last five home games in the Argentinian top-flight. However, they have recorded just three wins in their last seven home games.
One negative for the home side is that they have won just one of the last seven meetings with Banfield, suffering six defeats in the process.
Banfield are 12th in the Superliga table. However, the visitors would move into the Copa Sudamericana spots with a victory in this clash.
The visitor’s recent form has been mixed in the Superliga. Julio Falconi’s team have won just one of their last six league games. However, three of their last five league games have finished in draws. Last time out, they suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Defensa y Justicia.
Banfield’s recent Superliga games have been low scoring, with their last five games producing under 2.5 goals.
The visitor’s record on their travels in the Argentinian top-flight is a mixed one. However, they are unbeaten in their last three away games in the league, including winning 1-0 at San Lorenzo in their last Superliga game on their travels.
These two teams are evenly matched. However, Forebet predicts that the visitors will take home the three points and move into the league’s top-ten.
