Independiente Rivadavia enters this match as the clear favorite given their incredible form on the road this season. They have yet to taste defeat in five away matches, securing thirteen points from a possible fifteen. With a points per match average of 2.6 away from home, they are statistically the most dominant side in the league when playing at opponent stadiums. Their confidence is currently sky high.
On the other hand, Banfield has struggled significantly this season and sits in the lower half of the standings. They have only managed to collect three points from their last five matches overall. While they are decent at home, facing the league leaders is a different challenge entirely. Given that the visitors have won four of their last five games, a double chance result seems very likely.
