Racing Club vs Banfield Match Preview

Racing Club play against Banfield in 'Cilindro' of Avellaneda. If the 'Academy' win tonight, they will temporarily reach the top.

Racing Club registered 5 wins and 2 draws in their last 7 games. The most recent one was against Boca Juniors (0-1) in Bombonera. They took advantage of Boca's rotation due to their Copa Libertadores tasks and they bagged an important three-pointer and at the same time they boosted their morale. Now Eduardo Coudet's team target the top spot. Injured Sigali won't be available for the 45yo coach.

On the other hand, Banfield registered just a bore draw with Newells Old Boys in Rosario, in their last 3 games. They suffered a 1-2 loss to Atletico Tucuman at home before the international break. They will need points to secure their place and the 63yo coach Julio Cesar Falcioni will do his best to do so. However, things are going to be tough tonight in 'Cilindro'. Luciano Lollo will serve his suspension. The upcoming match next Sunday is against Union Santa FE.

Racing Club to win is my call in this one. They are based in teamwork and have the required quality to take what they want in the field. Especially at their home, they are the favorites against Bandfield.
