According to Banfield vs Union H2H Stats, the last five matches between these two clubs have resulted in three draws and two wins for Banfield. Union have failed to score in their last three away matches in the Primera Division.

Moreover, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in five of Union’s last six away games in the league.

As Banfield are undefeated in their previous five games against Union in all competitions, it is likely to be a closely contested affair in spite of the disparity in the positionings of the two teams in the league table, as not much separates the two clubs in terms of squad quality and form factor.

A 1-1 draw is the most likely outcome of this game.
