Why Bet on Banfield
Finally, Banfield shook himself. El Taladro had gone 8 games without a victory, only adding 4 points and scoring 5 goals. Very bad numbers for a team that had higher aspirations in this tournament.
Last weekend they visited Rosario Central and managed to get out of that hole in which they were sinking thanks to a goal from Agustín Urzi in the 22nd minute. Although they are 17th in the tournament, in the table of international cups they are with 37 points, 4 less than Godoy Cruz, who is the one who is keeping the last place for the Copa Sudamericana 2023.
Among the good news for Claudio Vivas’ team is that left-back Luis Mago, who was knocked out last game, has no injury and will be available this weekend.
Why Bet on Defensa y Justicia
And if Banfield is not doing well, this side is no different. Defensa y Justicia has 3 losses and 2 draws in their last 5 games and has only scored 1 goal. El Halcón was within the international cup positions, but they left last weekend after their fall with Boca Juniors (0-1) with a goal by Luis Vásquez at minute 90 + 2′. After this, a little boy entered the field to hug goalkeeper Ezequiel Unsaín in an image that has gone around the world.
One positive news for coach Sebastián Beccacece is that he will once again be able to count on left-back Gabriel Alanis, who had been sent off against Barracas Central.
Final Betting Analysis: Banfield vs. Defensa y Justicia
It will be an even game between two teams in need and probably with few goals, due to what has been seen in their last games, and even though Banfield took a new breath after their victory against Rosario Central, we believe it will be a draw.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Banfield is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of +134, while Defensa y Justicia has +236 and the draw is at +208.
The last match between these two teams was on March 6 of this year and Defensa y Justicia won as a visitor 2-3 with goals from Nazareno Colombo, Miguel Merentiel, and Agustín Fontana. Banfield has not beaten the Halcón since September 17, 2013, when they were in the second division (3-0). Since then, there have been 8 wins for Defensa and 3 draws.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on a draw at +208, you will gain $208 for a total payout of $308.
