Banfield take on the visitors Central Cordoba in the round 3 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 15th at Estadio Florencio Sola (Buenos Aires).
Banfield has done little to please his fans lately. "White-green" in the last draw of the Diego Maradona Trophy surprised many. But even there they finished the fight in the final, still left without the main award. Well, as part of the traditional championship, it turned out to take only 5 wins and 27 points in 25 games, eventually takin 20th position the final table. The same mediocre results are observed now. In the Diego Maradona Trophy this spring, it was not possible to break into the playoffs - only 19 points after 14 matches in group stage. In the Copa Sudamericana, the Argentines closed the table of their quartet with 1 win and 5 points. In the season started with 1-2 at home against Newell's Old Boys. Against this background, 0-0 with Arsenal Sarandi on their field looks like a certain progress.

Central Córdoba almost for half a century did not play at all at the level of the country's top division. Only in 2019, through the play-offs and a penalty win over Sarmiento, did Santiago del Estero finally return to top division after 48 years. But so far, the results there are extremely modest. Last season brought only 26 points and 22nd final place. In the Diego Maradona Trophy, Central Cordoba took 15 points in 14 matches, only Rosario Central had worse results. This includes the elimination from Gimnasia de Juhuy in the Cup (at home on penalties after 0-0). And the championship began with 1-1 with Barracas Central. On the weekend, the underdog took on Boca, and unexpectedly won against the giant. The only goal was scored by Gonzalez at the beginning of the 2nd half.
So far, only 3 head-to-heads have been played, all in recent years. All of them ended with an identical score - 1-1. Banfield will have more chances to win, but there will obviously be few goals in this pair, and the solid option looks like "under 2.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
