The clash between Banfield and Newell’s Old Boys promises to be an interesting match, as both teams are in different form and have different strengths. In my analysis, I will take into account statistical data and human expert analysis to get a comprehensive picture of what to expect.
Statistical Data and Analysis
Banfield
Banfield’s current form is not encouraging, as they have failed to win their last matches, which could be a sign of serious motivational problems. In their 3 games so far they have scored only 1 goal and conceded 5, which shows poor attacking and defensive play. The team’s xG (expected number of goals) is 1.9, while the xGA (expected number of goals scored) is 4.7, indicating that not only are they creating few situations, but their defence is also weak.
The performance of some players confirms this: for example, Milton Giménez scored a goal, but the rest of the attacking line failed to score. Defensively, the performance of goalkeeper Marcelo Barovero was mixed: his 50% save rate was not really outstanding, exacerbated by the team’s poor defending.
Newell’s Old Boys
Newell’s Old Boys, on the other hand, are in better form. In their three games so far they have scored 3 goals and conceded only 1. Their xG is 2.8, while their xGA is 1.4, indicating that they are more efficient both offensively and defensively.
Their outstanding player is Brian Aguirre, who has already scored 1 goal and created several promising situations. Goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos has been excellent, with a save percentage of 83.3%, a major contributor to his team’s success.
Expert Analysis
According to expert reports, Banfield has motivation problems, which is also confirmed by their poor performance in recent matches. Several of the players are playing out of form, which further complicates the team’s situation. Newell’s Old Boys, on the other hand, have shown a motivated and focused game, as evidenced by their victories so far.
Betting tips
Below are three low-risk betting tips based on statistical data and expert analysis:
- Newell’s Old Boys win or draw (low risk)
- Analysis: the current form of Newell’s Old Boys is better than Banfield’s. Statistical data and expert analysis suggest they are likely to at least draw, if not win. Banfield’s poor attacking play and defence further increases the chances of this happening.
- Newell’s Old Boys score less than 1.5 goals (low risk)
- Analysis: Newell’s Old Boys have only conceded 1 goal in their games so far and their defence is solid. Goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos is in excellent form, which adds to the chances of this one. Banfield’s poor attacking play also contributes to this tip.
Conclusion
In predicting the match between Banfield and Newell’s Old Boys, I have taken into account the statistics of both teams and expert analysis. Based on Newell’s Old Boys’ current form and statistical indicators, they are likely to be the favourites in the match. Banfield’s weak offensive and defensive play, as well as the team’s motivational problems, further increase the likelihood of Newell’s Old Boys’ success.
