Boca vs Banfield
Boca Juniors continue to struggle in the league. Last Sunday, the team were clearly dominated by Instituto and registered a lucky 0-0 away stalemate in matchday eight. Even though El Xeneize lost only one of their last six Liga Profesional matches (winning two and drawing three), those nine points are barely enough to occupy one of the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table. On a positive note, Boca are unbeaten in their last 12 domestic matches at home, having won eight and drawn four. There is no relevant injury news for Wednesday. Luis Advincula, Exequiel Zeballos and Agustin Martegani (who has just arrived from San Lorenzo) would start instead of Lautaro Di Lollo, Brian Aguirre and Julian Ceballos.
Banfield continue to show an irregular version. Last Sunday, the team ended up drawing 1-1 at home against Talleres despite having taken the first lead. As a result, the side are now on three league matches without a win, drawing two and losing one, which means El Taladro made it six points in seven games in Liga Profesional action and remain occupying one of the worst spots in the aggregate table. Furthermore, Banfield are on three consecutive defeats on away turf. Striker Bruno Sepulveda recovered from a back problem and is ready to return.
I know Boca has been far from reliable lately but at home they´ve been strong, and this very poor Banfield that lost their top scorer during the Copa America break is a team they should be able to beat. Advincula and Martegani give them an extra attacking power and with Cavani up front who has been scoring a lot at their stadium lately, they should win this.
