Lanus vs Barracas Central
Lanus fans will have felt devastated after their 2-1 away defeat at Instituto on Tuesday as the team conceded the winner in the 94th minute of the game. That result means El Granate are now on four league games without a win, drawing two and losing two in that time. Following that negative streak, Frank Kudelka’s men have been displaced from the Copa Libertadores spots. In fact, they dropped down to sixth on 42 points, trailing fourth-placed Defensa y Justicia by two. However, Lanus succumbed to a single defeat across their last nine home matches, winning six and drawing two.
Barracas Central deflated their performance last Tuesday and failed to beat the worst team in the league. However, the scoreless home draw against Sarandi Arsenal means El Guapo are on seven Liga Profesional matches unbeaten (three victories and four draws) as they made it 35 points in the respective table, occupying 12th spot and trailing the last Copa Sudamericana berth by three. In fact, Barracas haven’t lost any of the last three on away turf, taking seven points from nine on offer in that spell as a product of two wins and one draw.
Lanus has scored at least once in 10 of their last 11 games but they also conceded in 9 of their last 10 so I’ll go for the OVER here between two teams with not much to play for in this last round.
