Racing Club, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Defensa y Justicia will be viewed as a positive outcome for Racing Club and a valuable point into the bargain. In that game they had 62% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Defensa y Justicia who had 11 attempts and 4 on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 6 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 15 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
A recent poor run of home form for La Academia in the league has seen them lose 3 games in a row at The Estadio Presidente Perón.
On an individual basis, Matías Rojas will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Racing Club's last 6 league games.
Banfield, Recent FormBanfield will be feeling reasonably confident about this match, having secured a 2-0 home win against Rosario Central in their last league encounter. They achieved 32% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Rosario Central's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and this season overall, they've failed to score in 10 of their 18 games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 8 away games.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Racing Club produced a comfortable 0-2 victory.
It's been a long time since El Taladro have managed to find the back of the net against Racing, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters. In their past 5 meetings, La Academia's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Banfield will have to take their chances when they come. La Academia have struggled to break down the Banfield defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met at The Estadio Presidente Perón in the league, but Racing will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings there.
Racing manager Fernando Gago has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Johan Carbonero (Cruciate ligament), Paolo Guerrero (Knee), Leonel Miranda (Cruciate ligament), Nicolás Reniero (Foot), Matías Rojas (Ankle), Maximiliano Romero (Muscle) and Emiliano Vecchio (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Dylan Gissi (Cruciate ligament) and Alexis Maldonado (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Julio César Falcioni will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
