Banfield had disappointing last season, finishing only 13th in the league with 15 points and 15-20 aggregate goal difference. Banfield took part only in three matches in last three months. The round of 32 in Argentine Cup ended with 0-1 loss to Godoy Cruz. Copa Sudamericana clash with san Lorenzo got the team 2-0 win.
River Plate are undefeated in their last five head-to-heads with Banfield, taking three win and two draws. Considering current conditions of the team and the record of their meetings we should expect the host to take a win in this match. Argentine giants will be focused on domestic league only and there is nothing that should stop them from returning on leading positions.
Prediction for the match: River Plate to win.
