Lanus vs Sarmiento

Lanus remain as one of the league leaders thanks to their 3-2 away success at Aldosivi last Sunday, when Jose Sand (2) and Jose Lopez found the back of the net. El Granate made it 19 points after losing only one of their last six league matches (along with four victories and one draw in that stretch). However, that is not yet enough to climb into one of the Copa Libertadores’ spots in the aggregate table. At home, Luis Zubeldia’s men are on three games unbeaten in this competition, winning two and drawing one.

Sarmiento succumbed to a heartbreaking 2-1 home defeat to River Plate last Monday, when they showed a worthy game but conceded the winner in the 91st minute. Following that loss, Mario Sciacqua’s men remain on ten points in the league, having won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games. Now the side have only two teams below them in the relegation table (Huracan and Godoy Cruz). Sarmiento remain winless on away turf since their return to the top flight, having registered five draws and six losses.

Lanus are the league leaders, they have the top scorer, so they shouldn’t have problems to beat this poor Sarmiento that has a long run of winless away games.
