Betting on Banfield
Banfield arrives to this upcoming match holding the last place in the tournament. Although it is equal in points with Colón (three points), it has scored fewer goals, which sends it to the relegation zone. In six games, the team drew three and lost another three. Besides, it has scored only two goals and conceded six. This marks, undoubtedly, a start to forget, to say the least.
Last week, Banfield lost to Atlético Tucumán as visitors by 1-0, a match in which it had more ball possession (58%). However, the team was not convincing, since it was only successful in two out of seven attempts at goal. This was a hard blow for the team. However, it also committed many fouls (15), and conceded six corners to their opponents.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Facundo Cambeses; Matías Romero, Alejandro Maciel, Emanuel Olivera and Emanuel Insúa; Brahian Alemán, Eric Remeri, Alejandro Cabrera and Juan Bizans; Sebastián Sosa and Andrés Chávez.
Betting on Boca Juniors
Boca Juniors arrives at this upcoming match with 11 points, and holds the seventh position in the standings. The team has won three games out of six, drew two, and lost one, while scoring seven goals and conceding four.
The last match was the closing matchday 6 game of the elite Argentine First Division, when it hosted Defensa y Justicia at La Bombonera. It was a great game, with 45 attempts at goal (25 for Boca and 20 for Defensa y Justicia), of which 12 were on target (four for the home team, and eight for the visitors).
In addition, Boca Juniors had 59% ball possession and won 13 corners, as opposed to three corners for Defensa. The ball failed to go in because it hit Luis Unsain’s goal posts on two occasions.
For the match against Banfield, Ezequiel Equi Fernández, who served his suspension against Defensa y Justicia after being sent off against Vélez, is likely to return to the starting lineup. That would change the scheme of Hugo Ibarra, its head coach, since he would return to the usual 4-4-2.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Sergio Romero; Luis Advíncula, Bruno Valdéz, Jorge Figal and Agustín Sández; Martín Payero, Pol Fernández, Ezequiel Fernández and Óscar Romero; Sebastián Villa and Darío Benedetto.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of Banfield vs Boca Juniors shows that they have met 96 times. From all those games, Banfield has only won 19, as opposed to Boca Juniors, which has won 55.
This great difference is currently perceived, but JefeBet believes that Boca will not win with flying colors, but rather, by a discreet difference.
Prediction: Boca Juniors wins by 2-0
