Banfield Preview
Javier Sanguinetti’s team drew 0-0 at home against Unión in its debut and lost 3-2 away in a hard fought game against Huracán.
In contrast to their presentation, against the Globo they had 62% ball possession, but they did not manage to reach the rival goal with danger many times. In fact, this time the striking thing was the large number of serious scoring chances that Huracán had during the match (10), something that surely cannot be ignored by a coach whose profile is rather defensive.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Facundo Cambeses, Emanuel Coronel, Alejandro Maciel, Emanuel Olivera, Emanuel Insúa, Horacio Tijanovich, Matías Romero, Eric Remedi, Brahian Alemán, Nicolás Bertolo, Andrés Chávez.
Gimnasia Preview
El Lobo is coming off a 2-0 home loss against Defensa y Justicia. That loss, in addition to the one they suffered on their debut (1-3 against Velez, away), are the main concern of the blue and white half of the city of La Plata.
The team suffers too much from the lack of experience in several of its lines, and the starting lineup is made up of many of the club’s youths. Against Velez, the average age on the field was 22, and against Banfield, 23.
For this reason, the coach, Sebastián Chirola Romero, will probably bring in more experienced players, such as strikers Franco Soldano, Nicolás Contín, or defender Nicolás Colazo. Meanwhile, Cristian Tarragona and Germán Guiffrey are still recovering from injuries and could appear once again on matchday 4, against Instituto.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Tomás Durso, Guillermo Enrique, Leonardo Morales, Felipe Sánchez, Matías Melluso, Alan Sosa, Ignacio Miramón, Maximiliano Comba, Eric Ramírez, Franco Soldano, Nicolás Contín.
JefeBet Prediction
The history between Banfield vs Gimnasia Esgrima La Plata shows that they met 92 times, with Banfield winning 37 times and Gimnasia on 28 occasions. It will be a hard fought match, and it is not expected to be a great show. Therefore, at JefeBet we believe that Banfield and Gimnasia will draw.
Prediction: Banfield and Gimnasia draw 1-1.
