Copa Sudamericana betting and spectator preview: Banfield and Santos meet at Estadio Florencio Solá to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
It's quite the trip for Santos when visiting Banfield as the cities are 2200 kilometers apart.
These are hustling days for the home side, as they had a game only four days ago in the Superliga. This match was also played here at Estadio Florencio Solá. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Santos have had more rest.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Lanus and winning 1-0.Santos form and stats

Santos go into this game after a win, the home game against Agua Santa that ended 3-2.
