Racing Club vs Banfield Prediction: Racing is losing ground to the top 8

In the 12th round of Torneo Betano 2025, the two sides Racing Club and Banfield prepare to meet with a motivation to come back to winning ways after struggling in the last round.

Racing Club (WLWWD)

In the last round Independiente Rivadavia defeated Racing Club 2-1 away. Racing took the lead in the 25th minute through Nardoni’s finish after being set up by Vietto, but were unable to hold onto it. The team made 17 xG with a total of 3 big chances but only found the net once. Their defensive game fell apart as the game went on, and they conceded twice in the second half. They had 52 per cent possession and 343 passes played, 72 per cent accuracy, but they weren’t the clinical touch in that box or the other. It was a hard lesson in which opportunities missed and poor defensive transition came.

Banfield (WDLLD)

There was no attacking flair and Huracán drew 0-0 at home to Banfield. However, Banfield narrowly had more shots (10 to 5), but were not efficient in the final third producing just 3 shots on target. Huracán averaged 0.65 xG to their opponents’ 0.84, but missed two big chances. Banfield, although they were bit more possession (45%), were unable to control the rhythm of the game and failed to draw any corners in the first half. Offensively, they lacked ideas and urgency and held firm, their defense did well. It was a draw that extended the winless run and put more pressure on them ahead of this away fixture.
