In this week 10 match, on Monday Apr 18th, Banfield will play host to River Plate in a meeting of these two Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a wet and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees with the possibility of light rain, which is great football weather. Banfield is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Patronato. Galoppo scored the first goal for Banfield in the 50th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Patronato couldn’t manage to score, and Banfield took the shutout win. Banfield is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 2nd placed River Plate, recorded a 4-2 win against Argentinos Juniors. Matias Ezequiel Suarez scored the first goal for River Plate in the 6th minute, then Joaquín Fernández added another in the 9th minute. River Plate should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
River Plate’s most prolific scorer has been Joaquín Fernández. He has netted three goals over the last five matches. Galoppo has been the most prolific scorer on Banfield in his last five matches with 2 goals.
