Club Atlético Banfield visits Atlético Tucumán this Saturday at the José Fierro seeking to cut a streak of six consecutive away losses, amidst an institutional and sports crisis. The club carries debts of USD 1.3 million and sanctions that limited reinforcements. Coach Pedro Troglio resists in his position despite negative results and press pressure. This duel of needy teams will define Troglio's stability. Banfield bets on its scorer Mauro Méndez to break the offensive drought and improve its critical position in Zone B. Pedro Troglio's team started running behind in the dispute for the players it required within the market. Banfield was selling, but the income was not enough to pay off the debt and lift the sanctions. In February, the institution lifted the sanction and incorporated four players; among them, Favio Álvarez, former creative midfielder of Atlético. The team's negative streak seems to have directly impacted its sports performance. The Taladro has not won in over a month and accumulates a statistic that generates concern: six consecutive away losses. The atmosphere reached its boiling point after the defeat in the classic against Lanús, two dates ago. It was one of those falls that sink deep, that worry inside and before which the press begins to demand answers with more effervescence. In the last match, the tension escalated again: Banfield drew 0-0 against an alternative Independiente Rivadavia and once again dissipated the general anger by understanding that a good opportunity to add as a local had been wasted. Pedro Troglio exploded before the journalists, a sample of the discomfort that is lived these days in the south of Buenos Aires. The team seeks to improve its position in the table and get out of the institutional and sports crisis. The next date will be crucial for the team's destiny and its coach. As time goes by, Banfield's team must find a way to reverse the negative streak and improve its position in Zone B. So, the question is, can Banfield reverse the negative streak and improve its position in the table? The team has the opportunity to do so this Saturday at the José Fierro. But the team must work hard to achieve it. The players must be focused and motivated to get a good result. The coach must make the right decisions to get the team out of the crisis. And the fans must support the team to help them overcome the difficult moment.
