Banfield form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Banfield's two home games in the Superliga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Florencio Solá.

The Banfield goalkeeper Enrique Alberto Bologna Gomez is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the Superliga.

Before that match, a Superliga win away at Platense.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Banfield have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn three and lost three.

At Estadio Florencio Solá, Banfield has the goal stats of 4-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
