Sports Mole previews Saturday's Argentine Primera Division clash between Banfield and Atletico Tucuman, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Atletico Tucuman will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run of form in the Argentine Primera Division to four matches when they continue their domestic campaign away to Banfield on Saturday night.

Match preview

Banfield have won one, drawn one and lost three of their opening five matches of the 2024 Argentine Primera Division campaign, with a total of four points leaving them in 22nd spot in the table.

El Taladro lost two of their opening three games of the season, but they managed to record a 2-0 victory over Newell's Old Boys at the start of June to move onto four points.

Julio Cesar Falcioni's side, who finished 21st in the Argentine Primera Division last season, were last in action on June 13, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Independiente.

Banfield can take heart from the fact that they are unbeaten on home soil this term, picking up four points from their two matches, and a victory here would likely propel them up the division.

Atletico Tucuman, meanwhile, were last in action on June 16, playing out a 1-1 draw with Defensa y Justica.

El Gigante del Norte have actually drawn 1-1 in each of their last three matches, having also played out that scoreline with Platense and Velez Sarsfield, with their last defeat proving to be a 2-1 reverse to Gimnasia La Plata towards the end of May.

Diego Erroz's side actually started their 2024 campaign with a 1-0 victory over Boca Juniors, but they were beaten 2-0 by Talleres de Cordoba in their second match before playing out the three draws.

Atletico Tucuman sit 16th in the Argentine Primera Division, boasting six points from five matches, and they are only three points behind seventh-placed River Plate.

The visitors have not actually been victorious away from home in the top flight since November 2023, though, which is an indication of the size of their task in Saturday's contest.
