Banfield vs Atletico Tucuman

Banfield celebrated their first league victory under boss Hernan Crespo after three draws and one defeat. Thanks to a goal from Juan Pablo Alvarez in the first half, El Taladro beat Colon 1-0 away from home. Therefore, the team are still fighting to climb into a Copa Sudamericana berth, accumulating 27 points so far. The team haven’t claimed any victories in their last five home matches, with three draws and two losses. On Wednesday, Banfield played against third-tier club Juventud Unida Gualeguaychu in the Copa Argentina’s first round, easily winning 3-0.

Atletico Tucuman managed only one victory in their last five league matches, with the other games ending in two draws and two losses. Last time out, the team failed to beat bottom-placed Argentinos Juniors after a scoreless home draw. However, El Decano remain occupying one of the Copa Libertadores spots on 36 points. They also beat Boca Juniors 2-1 in their last away game to stop a two-match losing streak on the road.

Atletico Tucuman is in really poor form while Banfield is improving, so I like the home win here.
