Banfield's record over a similar length of sample reads very differently: five wins, eight draws and seven losses, with 24 scored and 26 conceded. There's been no real winning streak in there, just a lot of tight games and draws.
Argentinos arrive with the better recent numbers by some distance.

That gap lines up neatly with the form and head-to-head patterns already covered. Argentinos have simply looked the more consistent side across the samples available.

Players to watch
Banfield's S. López has been their main source of assists this season, setting up five goals in 26 appearances. His service out wide or through the middle will matter if Banfield are to create much against a tighter Argentinos defence.
On the disciplinary side, Argentinos' F. Álvarez and Banfield's T. Adoryán have each picked up nine yellow cards this season, so the referee may have a busy afternoon keeping things calm in midfield.

Everything covered points to Argentinos JRS being the side in better shape, both in current form and in their recent meetings with Banfield. That's useful context for anyone following the game, but it doesn't automatically translate into a specific match-winner or handicap price.
With nothing to attach a proper selection to, this one's a pass rather than a pick, even though the underlying reading clearly favours Argentinos.
