Belgrano will be hosting Banfield this Monday at 8:00 p.m. in a highly anticipated match at the Gigante de Alberdi stadium. This game marks the close of date 21 of the Professional League and holds special significance as it falls on June 26, the anniversary of Belgrano’s promotion with River Plate in the Promotion of 2011.
Belgrano, currently ranked tenth with 31 points, will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat against Defensa y Justicia. The team has been strong at home, losing only one game out of nine, which was against Tigre on date 5. Coach Guillermo Farré has made a single change to the starting lineup, with Franco Jara replacing Ibrahim Hesar. This adjustment will see Bruno Zapelli take on a more central role in the midfield.
On the other hand, Banfield suffered a loss to the league leaders River Plate in their last match. However, they managed to advance to the round of 16 in the Argentine Cup after defeating Argentino de Merlo. Currently, Banfield finds themselves in the lower zone of the league table, tied with Vélez Sársfield at 18 points. They are in danger of relegation, which will be determined by the annual table. Banfield will be missing Emanuel Insúa due to suspension and Emanuel Olivera, who terminated his contract and moved to Colombian soccer. The team has struggled as visitors, going five matches without a win, with their only victory away from home coming against Talleres in Córdoba.
Belgrano and Banfield have not faced each other in almost three years, with their last encounter resulting in a 1-1 draw in Córdoba. In their previous 24 meetings, Belgrano has emerged victorious 13 times, while Banfield has only managed five wins, with six matches ending in a draw.
