Banfield, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Talleres in their last league game, Banfield will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Talleres' tally of 18 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Manager Javier Sanguinetti will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games. They are proving tough to beat at home with their recent run of 5 clean sheets.
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.
Platense, Recent FormPlatense will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Defensa y Justicia. Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Defensa y Justicia had 16 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Martín Palermo will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. 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 not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. The early part of the season has provided an unusually high number of draws for Calamares, with 4 draws in 8 league games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Platense, Nicolás Servetto will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Banfield, losing 3-1 to Platense.
Banfield has lost the last 2 times they've faced Platense in the league.
Banfield manager Javier Sanguinetti has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Nicolas Bertolo (Knee), Dylan Gissi (Cruciate ligament), Matías González (Cruciate ligament), Emanuel Insúa (Calf), Alexis Maldonado (Cruciate ligament) and Horacio Tijanovich (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Platense manager Martín Palermo ahead of this clash, with Jerónimo Cacciabue (Groin) missing out, which gives Palermo a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
