Banfield had won their last two matches consecutively. The Green and Whites are not typically a team associated with major success. Collecting 17 points over 14 rounds in the Diego Maradona Trophy was a decent result for them in the spring. After the break, they had a weak start in the Primera: a 1-1 draw at home against Huracán, coupled with a couple of away losses. However, they picked up momentum by summer. First, they won an away Cup match against Independiente Rivadavia with a 2-1 score. Then, they managed a home victory in the league against Newell's Old Boys. Although the score was 0-0 until the 89th minute, the visitors crumbled after conceding a penalty, followed by another goal from open play. Bisanz, Cabrera, and Maldonado are out.
By winning 1-0 away in April, the Red Devils extended their unbeaten streak against Banfield to four matches. Common Result: The most frequent score in matches between these teams at Independiente’s stadium is 1-0 in favor of Banfield (five times). First-Half Performance: Independiente wins the first half in 30% of their matches, while Banfield does so in 22%. The home side is considered the favorite. However, they have not been impressive in this Primera Division. It’s advisable to bet on the visitors not to lose.
Prediction for the match: Banfield not to lose (X2).
