Both teams have stumbled out of the gate this season and are in dire need of a win, so don't expect a cautious approach here. The opponents are likely to take more risks and create chances at the opposing goal. Notably, in six of the last seven head-to-heads at Banfield's ground, at least two goals have been scored. Given this context, betting on over 1.5 goals seems a reasonable choice.
