February 17th features a match where Sarmiento hosts Banfield at Estadio Eva Perón De Junín in a meeting of these two evenly matched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 26 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Sarmiento recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Atlético Tucumán. Lisandro López scored the first goal for Sarmiento in the 66th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Atlético Tucumán couldn’t manage to score, and Sarmiento took the shutout win. Sarmiento is looking for direction having 1 win and 0 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Banfield recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against San Lorenzo. Neither Banfield nor San Lorenzo could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 14 and 8 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Banfield looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 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 draw apiece.
Joel Soñora and Giuliano Galoppo are the top scorers for Banfield in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Jonathan Torres and Lisandro López are the top scorers for Sarmiento in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
