Banfield vs Sarmiento Junin
📖 The Preview
Banfield are the clear favourites here at just over half the head-to-head record being draws, which tells you these two don't tend to go at each other. The models are pointing to a tight 1-0 home win, and honestly that makes sense. Banfield's 57% win probability against a Sarmiento side who've lost six of their last ten suggests enough of an edge to nick it, but neither team looks like running riot. Expect a low, scrappy affair where one goal settles it.
