Banfield preview: Hoping to keep their recent form going
With two wins in their last three games, Banfield have done well recently, which can't really be said for their season as a whole in Primera Division since they're currently 26th in the standings, only ahead of two teams. That being said, they are also just three points behind Estudiantes, their next opponent, who are 15th in the table, so a few more good results could push Banfield up.
When it comes to team news, Banfield will be without suspended Cristian Nunez, while they also have a lot of injured players, including Damian Diaz, Emanuel Insua, Alejandro Maciel, Jesus Soraire, Guillermo Enrique, Mateo Perez, and Alejandro Cabrera.
Predicted lineup: Sanguinetti (GK), Di Luciano, Maldonado, Hernandez, De Ritis, Canete, Rodriguez, Alvarez, Bisanz, Rivera & Sepulveda
