There are very few in terms of injuries and suspensions to both sides heading into this clash. Dylan Glaby will be suspended for the visitors after picking up a red card in their last game against Boca Juniors. It will be interesting to see who takes his place in the Barracas Central lineup for the upcoming match. Meanwhile, Banfield have more or less the entire squad fit for the upcoming clash. Enrique Bologna was in inspired form in the last match against Tigre in between the posts. He will be backed by a solid backline, however, goals have been a bit of an issue for the hosts, having scored only four times in four matches. Hence, the frontline would be keen to add more goals in the coming games.
Banfield possible line-up: Bologna, Abecasis, Gissi, Maciel, Coronel, Palacios, Domingo, Cabrera, Gonzalez, Galoppo, Enrique
Barracas Central possible line-up: Saracho, Lecanda, Rodriguez, Paz, Calderara, Mater, Blanco, Valenzuela, Bandiera, Tapia, Sepulveda
