Banfield, Recent FormA 3-3 draw against Vélez Sarsfield will be viewed as a positive outcome for Banfield and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Vélez Sarsfield's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Javier Sanguinetti will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Finding the net at home is becoming a problem for them, having been unable to score in 5 of their last 6 matches. With 5 clean sheets in their last 6 home games, they are proving tough to beat at The Estadio Florencio Sola.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormThe Defensa y Justicia players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Central Córdoba recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. In that game they had 74% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Central Córdoba who had 13 attempts and 7 on target.
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 4 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Nicolás Fernández will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 6 goals in Defensa y Justicia's 10 league games this season.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 1-2 win for Defensa y Justicia.
El Halcón de Varela have scored in each of their past 3 encounters away from home in the league against Banfield. We've seen plenty of goals from Defensa when they've visited El Taladro in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
When playing at home, Banfield have lost the last 3 times they've faced Defensa in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters.
Banfield manager Javier Sanguinetti has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Dylan Gissi (Cruciate ligament), Matías González (Cruciate ligament), Alexis Maldonado (Cruciate ligament) and Horacio Tijanovich (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Defensa manager Julio Vaccari has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
