​Argentine Division 1 -- Boca Juniors vs Banfield Game Preview

 

 

Pick:1x2    Boca Juniors  @1.95

 

Analysis:

Following a rare loss a week ago, Boca Juniors must overcome Banfield at home on Friday in order to guarantee their place among the top three teams.

 

Boca Juniors

Last Friday, Boca were beaten by Club Atlético Unión 2-1 after they gave up two penalties to Union. Boca Juniors have been undefeated at home for 12 straight games before last week, when they lost their second match of this campaign. With that loss, they fell three points behind Racing in the overall standings.

 

Banfield

Banfield made 1-1 statement with Barracas Central last time out. They have not displayed much strength in their five games this round, but they have often performed well enough to collect points, losing only one of their previous eight domestic competition games.

 

Prediction

Several of Boca Juniors' backup players are more than capable of defeating a team that shouldn't pose a significant threat to them in the offensive third, and they have enough talent to secure a victory on Friday.

Pick:AH   Barracas Central (+0.5/+1)  @1.90

 

Analysis:

The Superliga game at Estadio Florencio Sola on Friday sees home team Banfield playing against Barracas Central.

 

Banfield

Banfield are hoping to win again after their last result, the 0-1 Superliga triumph over Tigre. Claudio Vivas's Banfield have hit the back of the net a sum total of 6 times in their last 6 outings. At the other end, the tally of goals that they have conceded in those fixtures is 5.

 

Barracas Central

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Boca Juniors in Superliga action, Barracas Central and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one. The stats tell the story, and Barracas Central have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals overall. In defence, Barracas Central have clearly had some problems.

 

Verdict:

Banfield's home record is terrible. The 1X2 odds is 1.73-3.60-5.00, which means support the home team. Banfield should take points in this game.
