Banfield host Lanus in the Liga Profesional Argentina. Lanus have generally been picking up more wins across their recent matches than Banfield, who've drawn far more often than they've won.
These two have met close to a dozen times over the past decade and it's rarely been one-sided, with plenty of draws and narrow scorelines running through that history. Kickoff is still a month away from when this form picture was taken, so there's room for things to shift before the sides actually meet.

Neither side looks in commanding form right now, with Banfield's high draw count standing out.

| 15 | Central Cordoba de Santiago | 10 | 2 | 2 | 6 | 7/13 | 8 |
That's a consistent pattern rather than a one-off: Lanus have generally been the higher-placed side in both readings of the table.
Lanus's league position has held up better than Banfield's over the games captured here.

Players to watch
Lanus's D. Aquino has scored six goals in his 20 appearances this season, making him their clearest attacking reference point, while E. Salvio has chipped in six assists over a longer run of 26 games.
On Banfield's side, S. López has five assists in 26 matches, showing he's their main creative outlet. Discipline is also worth flagging: Lanus's R. Carrera and Banfield's T. Adoryán have both picked up nine yellow cards, and Banfield's N. Meriano already has a red card this season alongside four yellows.
Both squads carry some card risk, which is worth keeping in mind given how tight these meetings tend to be.

Put together, this looks like a fixture where Lanus have the stronger recent league position but nothing in the head-to-head or current form gives a confident lean either way.
Without a market to weigh against that picture, we're not making a selection here.
