Meanwhile, Banfield was able to beat Boston River from Uruguay 2-0 at home thanks to a brace from Nicolas Bertolo.

Banfield also beat Gimnasia LP at home 1-0 last Saturday to claim the first three points in the league table. El Taladro is winless in their last six away matches in all competitions, with three draws and three defeats.

Historic game for both Argentinean clubs as they don’t usually go this deep on international competitions. Defensa y Justicia is strong at home while Banfield is experiencing trouble on their travels. Home win.
