National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Banfield or Argentino Merlo that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Banfield form and stats
Last season their Copa Argentina adventure ended in the semi-finals.The home followers saw a 0-0 draw versus Gimnasia La Plata last time out and are looking for a win here. Chávez, who usually features in attack, was the best performer for the team in that match, receiving a rating of 8.05 (out of 10). Chávez hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Heartbreak before that as Banfield lost 2-3 at Huracan's place.The manager Sanguinetti will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Newell's Old Boys in only four days.
Argentino Merlo form and stats

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Midland (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) in the Primera C.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Primera B Metropolitana trip to Villa San Carlos.
