The story so far in the Superliga for Independiente at their home stadium (Estadio Libertadores de América) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

No payout for Independiente in their previous match, an away game at Tigre that ended in defeat 1-2. Midfielder Soñora was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.42 (out of ten) in that game. Soñora scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Central Cordoba SdE (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 match schedule is unforgiving for Independiente as they have a new game in only four days, a Superliga match thankfully also at home. Banfield are visiting.

From these home matches, Independiente have conceded only 10 goals.
