Banfield vs Belgrano

Banfield put up a good fight on their visit to River Plate last Saturday, but they couldn’t stop the hosts’ offensive power and ended up losing 3-1 away. That result represented their third defeat across the last five league matches, along with a single win and one draw. El Taladro remain on 21 points in the Liga Profesional, now just eight points above the relegation zone in the aggregate table. Banfield won two of their last three at home, losing only once in that spell. Winger Juan Alvarez continues to recover from his knee injury and will miss out on Wednesday.

Belgrano played one of their worst games in 2024 last Saturday, when they lost to Defensa y Justicia 2-1 at home after conceding the winner just four minutes before the final whistle. As a result, El Pirata extended their winless run to four league games (two stalemates and two defeats). They remain on 26 points in the Liga Profesional, which keeps them ten points above the relegation zone in the aggregate table. Furthermore, Belgrano won only one of their last nine as the visiting side, drawing five and losing three.

Banfield are one of the very few teams in this league whose games have goals lately: they’ve scored in every one of their last 8 games (10 goals in total) while conceding 11 in the same amount of games so I’ll go for the OVER here as I can see both teams scoring.

BET: OVER 2 @ 1.93
