On Monday night, Banfield host Chacarita Juniors at the Estadio Florencio Sola, as both sides look to move up the Superliga table.
Banfield have enjoyed a mixed campaign in the Argentinian top-flight this season. The home side currently sit 17th place in the table, eight points behind the Copa Sudamericana spots in the Superliga.
Their recent form in the Argentinian top-flight has been inconsistent, as Julio Falcioni’s side have won just one of their last six league games in the Argentinian top-flight. Last time out in the Superliga, the home side suffered a 1-0 defeat at Velez Sarsfield.
Banfield’s recent Superliga matches have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in 11 of their last 12 league outings in the Argentinian top-flight.
The home side’s record on their own turf has not been great of late in the Superliga, as they have won just two of their last 11 home games in the league. Just like their general league games, their home outings in the Superliga have been low scoring with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last ten games.
Chacarita Juniors are currently third from bottom in the Superliga table, four points from safety. A recent poor run of form in the Argentinian top-flight has hampered their chances of escaping the relegation zone, though.
The visitors have won just once in their last 11 games in the Argentinian top-flight, having suffered three straight defeats in the Superliga.
Sebastian Pena’s team have a woeful recent away record in the league, winning just once in their last 19 away games in the Argentinian top-flight. To make matters worse the visitors have lost 15 of those 19 away games.
Forebet predicts that Banfield will record a victory in a low scoring game, which will improve their chances of continental football next season.
