Independiente continue producing a remarkable campaign in the Liga Profesional. In round ten, the team showed a good version and earned a point following a 1-1 hard-fought draw at River Plate. El Rojo succumbed to a single defeat in ten matches, winning five and drawing four to make it 19 points in the league table (one behind leaders Talleres and Lanus). Julio Falcioni’s men have been unbeaten at their own stadium in this tournament (having not even conceded), registering three victories and two draws.

Lanus remain as one of the league leaders (alongside Talleres) despite having drawn 1-1 at home against Sarmiento in round ten, when they conceded the equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time. However, El Granate are unbeaten in their last three league matches (two victories and one draw). With 20 points in the league table, they remain out of the Copa Libertadores’ spots. Luis Zubeldia’s men have been confident on away turf in this tournament, registering three successes and a single loss.

Lanus has the best attack but also the worst defense in the league, and I expect an open game here between these two championship candidates.
