Club Atletico Independiente vs Club Atletico Banfield Prediction: Quite a Competitive Encounter

The two sides are facing each other head to head in the Argentine Primera Division. Both sides are fighting to secure a position in the mid-table of the league. As things stand, Independiente is currently standing at the 15th spot with 31 points and Banfield is at the 21st spot with 29 points. A win would take the team into the top half of the table as the league approaches its end. This will be the second last game of the season.

The team has won only 1 out of the last 5 matches scoring 5 goals and has conceded 6. The striker is enjoying decent form as they have scored in all 5 of its last 5 league matches. Defensive, they have been shaky as they have managed to keep only 1 clean sheet in the last 5 matches. Independiente will rely mostly on its striker to nick a win in this match against Banfield. 

• Leandro Miguel Fernández
• Leandro Benegas
• Damián Batallini

Banfield has won just 1 game from its last 6 league games and has scored only 3 goals in them. Defensively they are not looking very sharp as they have conceded 5 goals in the last 5 games. They will be looking to keep up the momentum as they have won their previous match against Adolsivi. They will be relying on their striker to win the game for them and midfield to control the game and keep the possession in hand.

• Ramiro Enrique
• Nicolás Bertolo
• Jesús Dátolo

This is hard to call as both teams have shown some vulnerabilities in their recent matches and haven’t performed up to their full potential. However, the team that is most likely to score is the one that is coming to this game with a win and that is Banfield. Our prediction is that this will be a low-scoring match with Banfield to nick a win at the end of the game.

• Banfield to win the match for 4.20
• Both teams to score - yes for 2.13
• Match to be a draw for 3.30
