Independiente form and stats

The Superliga statistics at home this season for Independiente are 4-4-4 (wins-draws-losses).

The spoils were shared in Independiente's previous game, also at home. Visiting Barracas Central (placed 19th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Cazares, who usually features in attack, was the best performer for the team in that fixture, earning a rating of 7.92 (out of 10). Cazares scored one goal and hit four key passes.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Tigre (1-2).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Independiente have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 5 and lost 4.

The Independiente fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 12 matches.

Banfield form and stats

5-3-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Banfield in their Superliga matches away.

Banfield play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Aldosivi (placed 28th). Those three points felt nice as this side had gone five league matches without winning. Defender Tanco was the best team player with a rating of 7.72. Tanco scored one goal and won 6 of 10 duels.

A 0-2 loss hosting Gimnasia La Plata before that.

Banfield are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.

The attacking power of Banfield when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 12 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Banfield as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head
