Banfield vs Aldosivi Prediction & Betting Tips (3 March)

Banfield welcome Aldosivi to Florencio Sola in a Liga Profesional Apertura clash that already feels important despite the early stage of the 2026 campaign. Over the past couple of months, Banfield’s storyline has been one of inconsistency but quiet resilience at home, where they have taken two wins, one draw and one defeat, conceding on average just a goal per match. Their recent calendar has been demanding, including the trip to River Plate, previewed in detail here 1-0, a reminder of how often Banfield are forced to grind through tight, tactical encounters against stronger opposition.

Supporters have also been looking back at Banfield’s more balanced fixtures, such as the home meeting with Estudiantes Río Cuarto, which many saw as a chance to reset their league form after a mixed start; that matchup is revisited in this preview 2-0. Across their last five outings in all competitions, Banfield have alternated wins and losses, a pattern that underlines both their potential and their volatility. Still, the team’s defensive structure has tightened compared with previous seasons, and the club’s recent league position—23rd with seven points from seven games—suggests they are at least keeping themselves competitive in a congested mid-to-lower table.

Aldosivi arrive with a very different recent narrative, one dominated by away struggles and narrow margins. Over the last two months of Apertura action they have collected only three points from six league matches and, crucially, have lost all three of their away games, scoring an average of just a third of a goal per outing. Their recent fixtures include a tense home clash with San Miguel, previewed here 1-1, and a difficult visit to Tigre, discussed in this analysis 2-1. Those games highlighted a side that can be organized but often lacks the cutting edge to turn half-chances into decisive goals.

History between these clubs adds another layer to the preview: Aldosivi have enjoyed recent success in this fixture, winning 1-0 away at Banfield in September 2025 and previously 2-0 in 2021, while Banfield’s last notable triumph in the series was a 3-0 home victory back in 2013/14. Yet current form points in a different direction, with Banfield’s stronger home record contrasting sharply with Aldosivi’s travel woes and low scoring rate. Taking into account Banfield’s improved defensive discipline, Aldosivi’s difficulties on the road, and the tendency for their recent meetings to be decided by fine margins, a tight match feels likely, and a correct score of 1-0 in favour of Banfield is a realistic and coherent prediction for this encoun
