Juan Manuel Garcia’s goal in the first half gave Sarandi Arsenal a valuable 1-0 win at Gimnasia LP last time out. The victory allowed them to reach 20 points in the Superliga (with one game in hand) and take a breather on their relegation struggle. Besides, El Viaducto put an end to their four-match winless run of two draws and two defeats. Arsenal also are on four games unbeaten at their own stadium, having won two and drawn two.
Lanus are one of the best teams in the league, but they are going through a mini-crisis. Last time out, the side were dominated from beginning to end and lost 2-0 at Defensa y Justicia to make it two consecutive losses in the league. However, El Granate still sits in third spot with 25 points, just three behind leaders. The recent slump stopped a five-game unbeaten run on away turf with three victories and two draws. Lanus star player Lautaro Acosta has recovered from his muscle issues and is ready to return.
Arsenal has the 2nd best attack in the league behind River, but at the same time, poor defense and they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games. Lanus with Lautaro Acosta back is a more dangerous team, so I’m going with goals here.
