Colon Santa Fe hosts Banfield in round 14 of Argentinean Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 5th at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López (Santa Fe)
Colon Santa Fe was founded in 1905. But only last spring, the Red-Blacks won their first trophy in history. It was they who won the Professional League Cup, a tournament that filled the vacuum before the start of the current national championship. However, Colon Santa Fe "loves" to arrange diametrical emotions for its fans. In 2019, it was close to success, reaching the final of Copa Sudamericana, but lost it. And in the next draw of Liga Profesional, the Red-Blacks scored only 18 points in 23 matches and finished second to last. For now, Colon is in the middle of the standings. But it is mainly due to a good start, when there were even three victories in a row. In the last seven games, the team gained only one victory and suffered three defeats. The last round ended with a 1-0 defeat to Boca Juniors.

Banfield even managed to win the national championship in 2009. Then a powerful squad was gathered, and the young Colombian James Rodriguez was in it. But this was only a one-time exception. As a rule, the club is not fighting for titles but for survival in Primera, and this fight is not always successful. Now the Green-Whites are also showing rather mediocre results. For a long time, an away 1-0 victory over Union de Santa was the only one for Banfield, and it couldn’t repeat this success in nine rounds of the championship in a row (five draws and four defeats). And only last Sunday Atletico Tucuman was beaten 2-0. If not for those three points scored, Banfield would now round out the standings.
Unique situation: in this pair, the host side cannot win nine matches in a row. And all four of the latter, including in February of this year, ended in victories of the visitors! Both teams are frankly unimpressive now. So, the safest bet option is Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
