Lanús

DWLWLW

Lanús fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 1-2 Copa Sudamericana success against LDU Quito.

For Lanús, the goals were scored by Gonzalo Pérez (23') and Marcelino Moreno (45'). Alex Arce (14') scored for LDU Quito.

Lanús have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets recently, but they’ve also found ways to convert their own chances into goals. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Lanús have been punished defensively in 6 of them while also getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those matches.

Leading up to this clash, Lanús:

• have not emerged victorious against Central Córdoba in their previous 2 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 4 league matches at home.

Central Córdoba

LLDLLW

Central Córdoba come into this clash following on from a 2-0 Superliga win with the eclipse of Defensa y Justicia in their most recent match.

In that game, Central Córdoba had 44% possession and 16 shots at goal with 5 on target. For Central Córdoba, the scorers were Rafael Barrios (23') and Matías Godoy (55'). Defensa y Justicia got 11 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target.

The stats tell the story, and Central Córdoba have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 8 goals in total. Defensively, Central Córdoba seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. We shall soon see if that trend can be sustained into this next match.

Going into this one, Central Córdoba have not won away from home in their last 11 league games. Very poor, indeed.

📰 Team News: Lanús

Raúl Loaiza (Muscle injury), Favio Álvarez (Muscle injury), Ramiro Carrera (muscular problems), Braian Aguirre (Adductor injury) and Leandro Díaz (Meniscus injury) won’t be playing for Lanús manager Ricardo Zielinski.

We think that Granate could use the 3-4-2-1 system and select Nahuel Losada, Carlos Izquierdoz, Ezequiel Muñoz, Gonzalo Pérez, Juan José Cáceres, Nery Domínguez, Lautaro Acosta, Nicolás Morgantini, Marcelino Moreno, Eduardo Salvio and Walter Bou.

📰 Team News: Central Córdoba

Central Córdoba manager Omar de Felippe has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Brian Farioli (Cruciate ligament tear) and Lautaro Montoya (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be making appearances.

From our viewpoint, El Ferroviario will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of Luis Ingolotti, Rafael Barrios, Sebastián Valdéz, Lucas Abascia, Gonzalo Trindade, Elias Cabrera, Kevin Vázquez, Cristian Vega, Rodrigo Atencio, Lucas Varaldo and Matías Godoy.

💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that Lanús can and should be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

However, Central Córdoba are also probably going to find it difficult to score a goal of their own although we do think it’s probable that they will be converting at least once here, too.

We’re tipping a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Lanús at the end of the match.

Our expert partners are tipping under 3.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
