Argentinos Jrs – Lanus

Argentinos Juniors had nothing to do against River Plate’s offensive power and ended up losing 3-0 away from home last Monday. It was their third defeat across the last four league games (along with a single win in the process). Therefore, El Bicho remain on 24 points in the league table, but they are still holding onto the last Copa Sudamericana berth in the 2021 aggregate rankings. At home, Argentinos managed 14 points in this competition following four victories, two draws and two losses.

Lanus produced an excellent comeback last time out, when they earned a 3-3 home draw against second-placed Talleres after trailing 3-0 at one point. As a result, El Granate succumbed to a single defeat in their last five league matches (winning two and drawing two) to accumulate 31 points in the league rankings, which keeps them near the Copa Libertadores’ spots in the aggregate table. Luis Zubeldia’s men have been decent on the road in this competition, having registered five victories and three defeats so far.

Lanus has the 2nd best attack in the league with 33 goals scored (they have two of the 3 top scorers) but also the worst defense with 29 goals conceded and I expect this to continue as they visit this Argentinos that averages a goal scored and conceded per game.
