Banfield, who still aspires to get a seat in the next Copa Sudamericana, will receive Colón this Saturday in a match corresponding to the 18th date of the Professional Football League which will take place at the Florencio Sola stadium from 20:30, with Ariel Penel refereeing and broadcast by TNT Sports.
The group led by Claudio Vivas has 19 points in the league and of the last 11 games played has barely managed to win one, against Rosario Central in Arroyito. At home they have not won seven games (four draws and three defeats).
In the annual ranking he collects 38 points and again, if he manages to improve this poor performance, he can fight for the classification for the next Copa Sudamericana.
Colón is also not experiencing a good situation, with Adrián Marini acting as interim coach until the end of the year, after the farewell of Julio César Falcioni when he was excluded from the Copa Libertadores and the poor results in the league that also put an end to Sergio Swallow cycle.
Sabalero, who has won a game of the last seven and scored three points on the last 12 played, has 18 units in this competition and 34 in the annual ranking, far from qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana.
The history between the two teams has recorded 61 games, with 20 wins for Colón, 16 wins for Banfield and 25 ties.
