Club Atlético Independiente has achieved a total of 16 points in the first seven matches of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol, of which 12 have been earned at home in Avellaneda, while only four have been obtained as visitors. Despite their good performance at their stadium, the team led by Julio Vaccari has had difficulties showing a solid image when playing away from home.
Independiente's next challenge will be to face Banfield at the Florencio Sola stadium, in a match corresponding to the Torneo Apertura where they will seek to improve their performance as visitors. This match presents a key opportunity to start changing their image in away games, especially before facing San Lorenzo and Racing in the following dates.
Regarding the lineup, the Independiente team would present only one modification compared to their last victory of 2-0 over Sportivo Belgrano in the Copa Argentina. Santiago Hidalgo would come in for Santiago Montiel, who will be preserved due to a physical overload and will be available for the upcoming commitments against San Lorenzo and Racing.
Independiente is in second place in Zone B with 16 points, being one of the standout teams in this Torneo Apertura and second to leader Rosario Central. Despite their good performance at home, Vaccari's team has shown a different face when playing away, struggling to replicate their solidity and good play away from the Libertadores de América stadium.
So far, Independiente has played three away matches in this tournament, with a nerve-wracking victory against Talleres, a defeat against River Plate, and a draw against Platense. These results reflect the team's lack of consistency away from home, where they have shown a performance lower than what they exhibit in Avellaneda.
