On June 13, Estadio Florencio Sola (Buenos Aires) will host the match of the 20th round of the Liga Profesional, in which Banfield will compete with River Plate. The battle will start at 00:15 CET.

Banfield

The team was relegated to the second division of the country in the previous decade. And now there is a threat to repeat this fate. Speaking about the previous year, the team took the 24th place out of 28 participants. If it continues to perform in the same way, it may become superfluous in the Primera. To be honest, Javier Sanguinetti’s wards are not able to add in the game. They managed to beat Boca Juniors in the spring, but that was the first victory in the current championship, which was taken only in the eighth round. “The White and Greens”, taking into account 19 matches, took 4 wins and only 18 points. May brought a confident 2-0 success in the battle against Rosario Central. Still, the previous week resulted in a defeat with the same score made by Racing from Avellaneda and the team eventually fell to the penultimate place again.

River Plate

The club took the league title in the previous season – the 36th one in its history. To tell the truth, it had to be waited for 7 years, fortunately, the higher mentioned period was brightened up by a couple of victories in the Copa Libertadores, which prevent the team from the talking about the so-called “trophy drought”. The worse fact is that “the Millionaires” failed to gain a foothold at the top of the standings, and fell back to the 3rd place in the Primera, without achieving anything special in other tournaments, in 2022. It goes without saying that the decision to replace the mentor was expected – still, it was more than strange for the grandee to hire Demichelis in the spring (the mentor had got zero experience in independent coaching, although, as a football player, he achieved a lot, even though he had never been a mega-star). Martin’s work has so far been pretty controversial. On the one hand, “River” is a confident leader at the inner arena. On the other hand, victories alternate with misfires in the previous rounds. The loss of a lot of points is also typical in the Copa Libertadores. Nevertheless, the team was defeated by Fluminense with a 2-0 score in the fifth round there.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Banfield, even being different in the class, often tripped the opponent. The same story was in the previous year, when the outsider won again. However, River Plate had taken the victories twice before, already in 2023.

Predictions

Bookmakers do not believe in the hosts of the arena. Let’s agree with them and bet on the victory of the guests (odd: 1.76).
