Argentinos Juniors: Solid at the back and six consecutive low-scoring outings on the road
Argentinos Juniors' last Primera División match ended in a 1-1 draw away at Platense 11 October 2026. The visitors led 1-0 at half-time but were outshot 5-15 and lost the xG battle 0.26-1.72.
Argentinos Juniors are comfortably among the Clausura's leading sides, sitting third in the table with 22 points. One of the team's main strengths is a solid defence that has conceded an average of just 0.9 goals per game over their last ten matches. The attack has been fairly restrained, scoring one goal per match, so Argentinos Juniors have often had to get results by the narrowest of margins. They are particularly cautious away from home, where the last six matches in a row have all gone under 2.5 goals. Moreover, throughout that run Argentinos Juniors have not managed to score more than one goal in any of those matches.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Argentinos Juniors are considered the favourites here, thanks to their higher quality and solid league results. However, their away status gives reason for caution, particularly given their recent performances on the road. In their last six away matches, Argentinos Juniors failed to score more than one goal on each occasion, which points to certain difficulties in attack. Banfield are not the most reliable defensively, but at home and with their supporters behind them they are capable of making life difficult for one of the league's leading sides. Our pick is therefore Argentinos Juniors Team Total - Under 1.5 Goals.
