This Friday, Racing will visit Banfield for the fifth matchday of Zone B of the Apertura Tournament, a clash between two teams that urgently need points to compete for playoff spots.
The match, scheduled for 17:30, will take place at the Estadio Florencio Sola. It will be broadcast live by Agencia Noticias Argentina and can be watched on TNT Sports Premium. The referee will be Pablo Dóvalo, with Lucas Novelli on VAR.
Racing arrives at this match with more doubts than certainties, having had a disastrous start to the tournament with defeats in the first three rounds. However, in their last appearance against Argentinos Juniors, led by Gustavo Costas, they managed to recover and secure their first three points. Therefore, the 'Academy' will look to stay on the path to victory in their visit to the 'Taladro' and get closer to the fight for playoff positions.
Banfield, for its part, has only accumulated four points, from its victory against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, in addition to the draw with Huracán and the defeats against Sarmiento and Belgrano de Córdoba. Led by Pedro Troglio, the team is eleventh in Zone B and is also looking with some concern at the averages table, where they are very close to the last position that would send them to the Primera Nacional.
