Banfield (Argentina) vs Defensa y Justicia (Argentina)

Banfield secured a valuable scoreless draw on their visit to Defensa y Justicia in the first leg a month ago. The team focused on keeping a clean sheet as the hosts dominated the game, but they were able to keep a clean sheet. In the league, Banfield drew with Independiente 1-1 at home even though they played against ten men during almost 80 minutes. El Taladro are sitting in 13th on eight points as a product of two wins, two draws and two defeats. However, they are on seven home games unbeaten in all competitions, having won five of them.

Meanwhile, Defensa y Justicia’s fans will have felt sorry after the team’s 0-0 home draw with Banfield in the first leg as the team created several goalscoring opportunities during the whole game. Nevertheless, El Halcon are performing very well at the moment. Their home game against Estudiantes had to be abandoned due to thunderstorms last Saturday (the score was 1-1), but Defensa collected nine points in the five previous rounds, having not suffered any defeats. On away turf, they managed two victories and a draw this season.

Even if Banfield is strong as hosts Defensa is the better team here and they have dominated Banfield the last few years, beating them in 5 of their last 6 meetings so I like the guests’ chances to win and advance to the Quarterfinals.
