Talleres RE vs Banfield Prediction: This should be an easy task for Banfield

At least Banfield should have an easy task on paper in the 1/8 finals of Copa Argentina. Talleres RA are a team from Primera Nacional. They are struggling to stay above the relegation zone, while Banfield are in 4th place in Liga Profesional, and has recently been playing in good form. The match will be played in a neutral location in Quilmes in Stadium Centenario Ciudad de Quilmes,

It will be a huge surprise if Talleres RA advances to the next stage. They are struggling a lot this season, currently sitting in 17th place in the Argentinian second division. In the last 5 matches, this team have 3 defeats, a draw, and a win. In the previous round of Copa Argentina, they were better than another team from the first division, Racing Club. Talleres RA won thanks to the late goal scored by Guzman in 94 min. They are hoping to have similar luck in this encounter as well.

Banfield are the clear favorite in this match, they are in 4th place in Liga Profesional, and they are in great form. In the last 5 matches, they have 3 draws, a win, and a defeat, but they are looking great on the field. In the previous round, they were better than Ind. Rivadavia, and even though they won with 2:1, they were a much better opponent, and the result should have been different.

In my opinion, there is no doubt that Banfield will proceed to the next phase, the only question is if they can win the match in the 90 minutes or if the winner will be decided on penalties. I expect Banfield to demonstrate their power and their good form and push as hard as they can to get early advantage and control the match.
