Insights:
  • Banfield have the most conceded goals (13) at home in Superliga

Banfield form and stats

Banfield's struggle is real here at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López with only 7 points collected from 9 Superliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-4. When Banfield hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Central Cordoba SdE, Talleres Cordoba, Aldosivi, Lanus, Independiente, Defensa y Justicia, Arsenal de Sarandi, Velez Sarsfield and Banfield), they have won 2 of 4 matches!

Banfield shared the glory with Atlético Tucumán in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Maciel was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.31 out of 10. The defender Maciel won 12 of 15 duels.

Before that match, a home victory hosting Gimnasia Jujuy in the Copa Argentina. This is expected to be a close game, with Banfield perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Banfield as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Banfield has won 6 of these, drawn 4 and lost 5.

Low-scoring affair? In this team's last 10 league matches, 8 have had zero, one or two goals.

Banfield are traveling soon after this match as the Superliga match at River Plate awaits in three days.

On the other hand, Banfield have conceded 13 goals.

Colón form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Colón so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose). Colón has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Colón might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Boca Juniors proved too strong as Colón slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López. Attacker Rodríguez got a player rating of 7.84 in the game. "Man of the match" Rodríguez scored one goal and hit five key passes.

A 0-1 defeat away at Barracas Central before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Colón playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 4 Colón wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting San Lorenzo in just three days.

Goals are few and far between in Colón's away league games. Only 4 goals from 8 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): Banfield three wins, four draws and Colón one victory. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
