---------------------------------
Boca Juniors Reserve
Boca Juniors Reserve, coached by Mariano Herrón, ranks 8th in the Clausura with a strong recent record, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 0.8 conceded in their last five matches. They won 3-0 against Unión Santa Fe Reserve on October 16, 2024, and drew 1-1 with Belgrano Córdoba Reserve on May 7, 2025, but lost 1-0 to Racing Club Reserves on August 5, 2025. Key players include Iker Zufiaurre (forward), Santiago Dalmasso (midfielder), and goalkeeper Sebastián Díaz, with a probable 4-2-3-1 lineup: Díaz; Gorosito, Molas, Herrera, Rodríguez; Dalmasso, Montes; Payal, Zampieri, Aranda; Zufiaurre. Strengths include their attacking form (31 goals in the season) and home advantage, but a recent loss and doubts over Valentino Simoni’s fitness are concerns. They aim to maintain their top-half position and leverage their strong historical record against Banfield.
Banfield Reserves
Banfield Reserves, led by Fernando Cinto, ranks 14th, struggling with four consecutive losses, including a 3-1 defeat to Estudiantes La Plata Reserve on August 13, 2025, averaging 1.3 goals scored and 1.2 conceded in their last five matches. Their only point came from a draw, with Lautaro Gómez scoring an Olympic goal in their recent loss. Key players include Gómez, Juan Pablo Álvarez, and goalkeeper Juan Bertoli, with a probable 4-3-3 lineup: Bertoli; Di Luciano, Iribarren, Bonacci, Recalde; Álvarez, Quiroz, Villalba; Gómez, Rodríguez, Vila. Strengths include their counter-attacking potential, but their defensive frailty (conceding in every game this season) and lack of away form are major issues. They aim to end their losing streak and avoid a repeat of their 1-0 loss to Boca in 2022.
Head-to-Head
Boca Juniors Reserve and Banfield Reserves have met three times recently. Boca won 3-1 on July 23, 2021, and lost 1-0 on June 30, 2022, with one other match (details unavailable). Matches average 2.5 goals, with 50% over 2.5 goals and 50% both teams scoring (BTTS). Boca have the edge at home, but Banfield’s 2022 win shows their upset potential.
Predicted Score: Boca Juniors Reserve 2-1 Banfield Reserves
Boca’s Zufiaurre and Dalmasso face Banfield’s Gómez and Álvarez, with Boca’s home strength and attacking form tested by Banfield’s counter-attacking threat. Boca are favorites (1.57 odds, 64% win probability) over Banfield (4.75), with a draw at 3.75. Trends (Boca: 60% over 2.5 goals; Banfield: 60%) and H2H suggest goals, with betting tips favoring Boca to win (1.57) and BTTS (1.85). Cards may be issued in the 20°C afternoon, with Boca’s 10 fouls and Banfield’s 12 per game suggesting 3-4 cards. Boca aim to capitalize on their home form, while Banfield seek a rare upset to break their losing streak. Boca is likely to score through Zufiaurre, with Gómez possibly netting for Banfield. Boca’s attacking quality and home advantage should secure a narrow win, though Banfield’s counter-attacks may keep it close.
