Banfield vs Central Cordoba
Banfield continue struggling to find their best form. Last time out, the team had to settle for a scoreless away draw at Sarandi Arsenal in a boring match. That result represented their first point in the Liga Profesional. El Taladro made it four matches without a win in league action, with three draws and one loss: they don’t seem to have what it takes to fight for a continental ticket, at least for now. At home, Banfield suffered four defeats across the last six domestic games, winning one and drawing one.
Thanks to a strike from Francisco Gonzalez Metilli in the second half, CA Central Cordoba secured a highly-celebrated 1-0 home success over Boca Juniors. Thanks to that result, they accumulated four points from six on offer in this competition, broke a four-game winless streak of two draws and two defeats in league action and also opened a five-point gap over the relegation zone in the respective table. El Ferroviario produced a decent away campaign this season, winning two, drawing four and losing two in 2022.
Banfield has been really struggling at home (and not playing much better away), Central Cordoba has to feel confident after their huge win vs Boca, so I expect them to get something from this game.
