Banfield host Aldosivi in a crucial clash between hope and survival | OneFootball

The “Taladro” is looking to secure a spot in the playoffs after ensuring their place in the division, while the “Tiburón” needs to earn points to keep their dream of staying in the top flight alive. The match kicks off at 19:20 in the southern part of Buenos Aires province.

Banfield and Aldosivi will face off at 19:20 in a decisive clash at the Florencio Sola stadium, as part of the fifteenth round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional League.

Both teams arrive at this match in very different moments, but each has a lot at stake: Pedro Troglio’s team wants to confirm their resurgence and break into the playoff zone, while the Mar del Plata side is fighting for survival in a final stretch that promises plenty of excitement.

The “Taladro” comes in riding high after winning the southern derby: they defeated Lanús 2-1 with goals from Bruno Sepúlveda and Rodrigo Auzmendi, notching their second consecutive victory. That result not only mathematically secured their safety from relegation, but also allowed them to climb the standings and dream of qualifying for the tournament’s final phase.

On the other side, Aldosivi is experiencing a dramatic end to the season, but also one filled with hope. Under Guillermo Farré’s leadership, the “Tiburón” won again—3-1 against an alternative Independiente Rivadavia side—claiming their third victory in the last four matches, thanks to a strong collective performance and a brilliant assist from Justo Giani.

The Mar del Plata team knows there’s no room for error: they need to pick up points in their remaining two matches to keep their chances of staying in the top division alive. Before the match, there will also be a tribute to Josecito Moscuzza, former vice president and current club official, who recently passed away in an accident on Route 2.

In the south of Greater Buenos Aires, two different stories will cross paths, but with the same goal: to end the tournament with a smile.
