Banfield continues escaping the relegation zone following their 1-0 home victory over Velez Sarsfield thanks to a goal from Reinaldo Lenis in the second half. As a result, El Taladro made it four consecutive league matches without defeat, having drawn two and won the last two. Also, they broke a five-game winless run at their own stadium, with one draw and four losses. Banfield accumulated 16 points in 14 Superliga weeks.
Gimnasia LP is yet to earn points at their own stadium after losing 1-0 at home to Sarandi Arsenal last Sunday. That defeat means El Lobo remain bottom in the relegation table and are 13 points from safety. Diego Maradona’s men are one of the worst teams in the league with only ten points. Nevertheless, they seem confident when they travel: Gimnasia won their last three away games.
Gimnasia is simply desperate while Banfield is in a good run, and even though it failed last week, I’m going again with the OVER and this very low line.
