Belgrano turn up without a single senior midfielder. Vazquez banned, Longo and Sanchez sent off at Tigre.

The Believer11:14 AM
The one holder they have left has never played a senior minute. Banfield have been staring at the promedios all season. Two-one, and I'm not nervous.
The Quant11:15 AM
Draw no bet on Banfield, 2.28 at Pinnacle. That's the one I'd take.
Q
The Quant11:17 AM
The quarter-ball line dies the same way, and only that way. It hands back half your money on a draw. This hands back all of it. Same risk, better price.

The Skeptic11:18 AM
You're both buying the headline. Zielinski doesn't send a patched-up side out to play, he sends it out to sit. A debutant parked in front of two centre-halves has very few decisions to make.
S
The Skeptic11:20 AM
And who is supposed to punish them? Banfield have won once in three, lost at Huracan, drew a blank at Estudiantes. I'd have taken the draw and slept fine.
The Believer11:21 AM
Very few decisions, and one goes straight to Rigoni's feet. You'd find a reason not to back anyone.
B
The Believer11:23 AM
Banfield are playing for their existence. Belgrano are playing with a kid.

Banfield don't have to be good tonight. They have to be organised. Belgrano are inventing a midfield on the morning of the game.

I have it one-nil. If it finishes level, I get my money back.

The Skeptic11:27 AM
A refund is the most likely thing tonight. That tells you what you're buying. One apiece, neither scores twice. You two can explain why that was clever.

THE BARTENDER · LAST CALL
Belgrano lose their whole midfield to suspension in one weekend and hand a debut to a twenty-year-old away from home. The Believer and the Quant take Banfield with the draw covered off. The Skeptic thinks the draw is the bet and says so on the way out.
