Both Banfield and Godoy Cruz are desperate for points in this game, in spite of the visitors carrying a 12 point advantage in the standings.

Insights:
  • Banfield have the fewest scored goals (7) at home in Superliga

These teams have little in common geographically as Godoy Cruz have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Argentina game only four days ago. That game, against Villa Mitre, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Godoy Cruz.
