In the ninth round of the Torneo Betano 2025, Argentinos Jrs travel to Banfield to clash in an important match. What a contrast in results between these two teams in the last round and seeking out these points will be important in finishing above each other at this stage.
Banfield (DLLLD)
Independiente and Banfield played out a 0-0 draw in their last match. Their active offensive was on display as they had 17 shots and 7 on target, but to no avail. For the most part, the Timber controlled 47% of the possession with a better xG (0.48 vs. 0.17) of chances created, but were simply not finding the back of the net. Independiente relied instead on goalkeeper Ríos to keep them on level terms, making welcome saves to deny the hosts just 10 shots on target. However, discipline is an issue with 19 cards and 5 yellow cards.
Argentinos Jrs (WDWDW)
However, Argentinos Jrs beat Instituto 2-0 on their next game. In the 55th minute, Rodriguez made breakthrough and a little later than that, in the 74th minute, Molina scored to secure the win. Argentinos dominated possession 64% and had 19shots, 4 on target. Defensively they were very solid toPost a clean sheet as their goalkeeper made two crucial saves to prevent Instituto from getting any joy and they restricted Instituto to just 8 attempts. The team hopes getting this sort of momentum built into the upcoming clash will help it.
Expert Betting Tips
They will be looking to capitalize on home advantage and to finally improve on their finishing, but Argentinos Jrs enter on the back of a recent win. Also, Banfield can adopt a more aggressive approach while Argentinos may play with ball control and quick transitions to win the match. With the hosts struggling against the goals, Argentinos Jrs look to have a slight edge over the visitors, having put in a dominant performance in the last round. But Banfield could fall victim to their defensive resilience and it could be a close encounter.
