Banfield's equivalent sample reads very differently. Five wins, eight draws and seven losses, with more goals conceded than scored, points to a team that's struggled for any real consistency this year.

Boca arrive with a much healthier recent record, though their own cup form has included a couple of scrappy draws and a defeat to Racing.

Comparative Team Statistics: Banfield vs Boca Juniors

History leans heavily towards Boca

Looking back over the last dozen meetings between these two, Boca have won nine, drawn two and lost only once to Banfield. That solitary defeat came back in 2023, with Boca otherwise dominating this fixture for years.

It's worth remembering these results span different competitions and seasons, so it's a guide to a pattern rather than proof of anything guaranteed this time out.

Banfield have shown they can win this fixture occasionally, so it isn't a total formality just because history favours Boca.

Cup football can flatten the gap

This is a Copa Argentina tie, and both clubs have had bumpier nights in this competition than in the league. Banfield drew twice in their recent Copa Argentina outings, while Boca were beaten by Racing in their last cup match after also drawing with Velez earlier in the competition.

That suggests neither side has found top form specifically in cup football right now, even if Boca's overall numbers look stronger on paper.
