Banfield host Rosario Central in the Liga Profesional, with Pedro Troglio's side looking to arrest a difficult run of results at home.
Banfield arrive at this fixture in poor domestic form, having failed to win any of their last four Liga Profesional matches. Back-to-back defeats against River Plate and Aldosivi have put pressure on their position in the table, and a home crowd will demand a response.
Rosario Central, managed by Jorge Almiron, come into this game in a markedly different mood. The visitors have won two of their last three league outings and sit top of Clausura Group B, making this a genuine test of their title credentials against a side with little to lose.
Almiron's men have been solid at the back on their travels, winning at Tigre and most recently beating Argentinos Juniors. Their ability to grind out results away from home has been a feature of their recent run.
For Banfield, the Copa Argentina win over Deportivo Riestra offered a small boost, but league form remains the priority. Troglio will need his side to show more cutting edge than they have managed in recent weeks.
