CA Banfield host CA Barracas Central in the Argentine Division 1 on Monday 14 September 2026, and the pre-match talking point is less about tactics than about who is even available to pick. Barracas Central travel with five senior absentees, which turns their predicted lineups into more of a selection puzzle than Banfield’s, even before a ball is kicked. Below are the projected line-ups for both sides, built from recent starting patterns rather than any official team sheet.
Predicted CA Banfield Line-up
Pedro Troglio’s side is projected in a 4-4-2, the shape the data lists as his preferred formation. The group looks largely settled, with 8 of the projected XI starting their last match, which points to a manager sticking with a core group rather than rotating heavily. Nicolás Meriano and Alexander Machado stand out in that regard, each having started all five of the matches used here, one anchoring the back line and the other leading the line up front. Federico Medina and Ignacio Pais Mayán, by contrast, sit further down the reliability scale in midfield, suggesting a touch more uncertainty in that part of the pitch.
CA Banfield predicted XI: Diego Rodriguez; Nicolás Meriano, Santiago López García, Ignacio Abraham, Santiago Daniele; Brandon Oviedo, Tomas Adoryan, Federico Medina, Ignacio Pais Mayán; Alexander Machado, Matías Hernández
| Line | # | Player | Starts in last 5 | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G | 50 | Diego Rodriguez | 3/5 | 3/3 |
| D | 6 | Nicolás Meriano | 5/5 | 3/3 |
| D | 24 | Santiago López García | 5/5 | 3/3 |
| D | 27 | Ignacio Abraham | 4/5 | 2/3 |
| D | 34 | Santiago Daniele | 3/5 | 1/3 |
| M | 13 | Brandon Oviedo | 5/5 | 3/3 |
| M | 20 | Tomas Adoryan | 5/5 | 3/3 |
| M | 18 | Federico Medina | 3/5 | 1/3 |
| M | 35 | Ignacio Pais Mayán | 2/5 | 2/3 |
| F | 22 | Alexander Machado | 5/5 | 3/3 |
| F | 28 | Matías Hernández | 3/5 | 2/3 |
CA Barracas Central Predicted Lineup
Damián Ayude’s expected XI is set up in a 4-2-3-1, again matching the coach’s listed preferred formation. It, too, reads as largely settled, with 9 of the projected XI starting their last match despite the injury and suspension list the club is working with. Marcelo Miño has started every one of the five matches used in this projection and looks the clearest fixture in the side, while Rodrigo Bogarin’s inclusion stands out for the opposite reason: he has not started any of those five games, making his midfield slot the least certain part of this expected XI.
CA Barracas Central predicted XI: Marcelo Miño; Kevin Jappert, Nicolás Demartini, Damián Martínez, Yonatthan Rak; Tomás Porra, Ivan Tapia, Dardo Miloc, Esteban Rolón, Rodrigo Bogarin; Norberto Briasco
| Line | # | Player | Starts in last 5 | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G | 30 | Marcelo Miño | 5/5 | 3/3 |
| D | 14 | Kevin Jappert | 5/5 | 3/3 |
| D | 31 | Nicolás Demartini | 4/5 | 3/3 |
| D | 4 | Damián Martínez | 3/5 | 3/3 |
| D | 15 | Yonatthan Rak | 3/5 | 3/3 |
| M | 8 | Tomás Porra | 5/5 | 3/3 |
| M | 10 | Ivan Tapia | 5/5 | 3/3 |
| M | 5 | Dardo Miloc | 3/5 | 3/3 |
| M | 35 | Esteban Rolón | 2/5 | 0/3 |
| M | 28 | Rodrigo Bogarin | 0/5 | 0/3 |
| F | 11 | Norberto Briasco | 4/5 | 3/3 |
Injuries and Suspensions
For CA Banfield, no absentees are recorded in the data, leaving Pedro Troglio with a clean squad list to choose his predicted line-up from. With no gaps to fill, bench options such as Renzo Malanca and Lautaro Ezequiel Cano, both with two starts in the matches used here, remain the likeliest names to be considered if changes are made.
CA Barracas Central are far less fortunate: Fernando Tobio, Manuel Duarte, Lucas Gamba and Nicolas Orsini are out injured, while Gonzalo Javier Morales is unavailable through suspension. That list hits the forward line hardest, with Morales, Gamba and Orsini all attackers, while Tobio’s absence thins the defensive options too. Facundo Bruera, who has started four of the matches used in this projection, looks the best-placed bench player to step into the side.
| Player | Pos | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gonzalo Javier Morales | F | suspended | Rest |
| Fernando Tobio | D | injured | Wound |
| Manuel Duarte | M | injured | Knee injury |
| Lucas Gamba | F | injured | Muscle Injury |
| Nicolas Orsini | F | injured | Knee injury |
How We Predict These XIs
Each side’s predicted lineup here is built from the last five available line-ups for that club, with more recent matches weighted more heavily than older ones. Players confirmed as injured or suspended in the data are removed from contention before the projection is built. This remains a projection rather than a team announcement, and it can change once the official team news is confirmed closer to kick-off.
