Banfield vs Barracas Central Match Analysis and Prediction

4 years ago 811

Barracas Central will be looking for three points that would help them climb from the bottom two of the Liga Profesional Argentina table, when they make a trip to Estadio Florencio Sola to take on Banfield on Saturday.

The two teams head into the contest on opposite paths, as the visitors are winless in four straight matches while the hosts will be looking to extend their three-game league unbeaten run.

The hosts are currently sitting in 7th place in the Liga Professional Argentina table, having picked up seven points from four matches, trailing league leaders Newell’s Old Boys on three points.

In their last league match, Banfield picked up a 1-0 victory over Tigre at Estadio Jose Dellagiovanna, which saw them extend their unbeaten streak to three – with two wins and one draw.

Banfield had a negative start to the season, as they went down to a 2-1 defeat at home against Newell’s Old Boys before playing out a goalless draw away at Arsenal Sarandi. However, they picked themselves up when they returned home against Central Cordoba SdE to win 2-1.

Javier Sanguinetti’s side have been led Giuliano Galoppo this season, as the midfielder leads the club with two goals.

Meanwhile, Barracas Central suffered a 3-1 defeat against Boca Juniors in their last Liga Professional Argentina match at Estadio Islas Malvinas, extending their winless run to four – two draws and two losses – leaving them 27th on two points from four matches.

Neri Bandiera scored the only goal for Barracas Central at first-half stoppage time, while Sebastian Villa, Guillermo Fernadez and Exequiel Zeballos all got in the scoresheet for Boca Juniors to condemn the hosts to a second straight defeat.

They now face a task of getting on track after claiming victory against a side who are off the back of two straight league wins.
