Banfield are now five games without victory following their goalless draw away at Estudiantes last time out. Despite the poor run of form, Banfield have actually performed relatively well and have competed in all of those five matches having only lost twice by a single goal. Patronato, much like Sarmiento last time out, created some history of their own with a 3-0 home victory over a lowly Boca Juniors outfit. Patronato still have aspirations of relegation survival so three wins in their last four matches is exactly the sort of form they should be aspiring for to pull it off. 1:1
