Here's another exciting match in the Superliga. Newell's Old Boys is in the 16th spot after completing three fixtures. They welcome Banfield who are placed 20th after three games.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
