On Sat Jul 30th, Estudiantes will host Banfield at Estadio Ciudad De La Plata in a meeting of these two mismatched Superliga teams.

Emanuel Coronel scored the first goal for Banfield in the 39th minute, but Miguel Torren got the equalizer for Argentinos Juniors in the 10th minute of the second half’s stoppage time earning them at least the one point. Banfield is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws apiece.
