Platense vs Banfield Match Analysis & Prediction
06/08/2024 2:00 am
Platense and CA Banfield bring round nine of the Argentine Primera Division to an end when they meet at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente Lopez on Tuesday morning.
Platense secured a second successive away victory for the first time this season as they stormed to a 3-1 win over Defensa y Justicia at the Norberto Tomaghello Stadium last Tuesday.
A brace from Mateo Pellegrino and Guido Mainero’s 70th-minute strike put the visitors in a commading three-goal lead before substitute Abiel Osorio pulled one back for Defensa in the 77th minute.
Sergio Gomez’s side now return home, where they have lost their last two matches, including a penalty-shootout defeat to Huracan in their Copa Argentina round-of-32 tie on June 8.
Meanwhile, Banfield’s early-season struggle continued in midweek as they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Boca Juniors when the sides met at La Bombonera Stadium.
Veteran striker Edinson Cavani finished off a brilliant team goal midway through the first half to set Boca Juniors on their way before Miguel Merentiel and Jabes Saralegui netted in the second half to cap off a dominant display.
El Taladro have now failed to taste victory in four successive matches, losing twice and securing two draws, and have managed just one win in their eight matches to start the new league campaign.
Banfield’s stuttering start to the campaign has been due to their struggles away from home, where they have lost each of their four matches this season while conceding nine goals and scoring just once.
Off the back of a 21st-placed finish in the 2023 campaign, Gustavo Munua’s side have picked up just six points from their opening eight matches to sit 25th in the standings, five points off Platense in 15th place.
