Banfield, Recent FormBanfield will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Newell´s Old Boys, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Newell´s Old Boys who had 6 attempts and 4 on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Javier Sanguinetti where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 6 in the same period. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 5 of their last 6 league games.
There will be mixed feelings from El Taladro, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Independiente, Recent FormIndependiente will not be too disheartened with their 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Defensa y Justicia who sit so many places above them in the table. In that game they recorded 62 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 15 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They have shown some resilient performances away from home of late with 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches away from home.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Nicolás Vallejo has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Banfield.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-0 win for Independiente.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 4 away matches against Banfield in the league, El Diablo Rojo have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend.
In the league, Banfield have been unbeaten in their last 3 times they have welcomed Independ. to The Estadio Florencio Sola.
Banfield manager Javier Sanguinetti has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Dylan Gissi (Cruciate ligament), Matías González (Cruciate ligament) and Alexis Maldonado (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
