River vs Lanus
River Plate finally secured their first success in the Liga Profesional last Sunday, when they showed their impressive effectiveness to beat Union Santa Fe 5-1 away. Having broken a four-match winless streak of two draws and two losses in league action, the team made it five points in this competition and they continue occupying one of the Copa Libertadores’ spots in the aggregate table.
Thanks to a strike from Lautaro Acosta in the 84th minute, Lanus secured their first victory in the Liga Profesional last Sunday, when they beat Colon 1-0 at home. Jorge Almiron’s men made it five points in this competition and stopped a four-match winless streak of three draws and one defeat in league action. On a sorry note, El Granate haven’t claimed any victories across their last 12 domestic matches on away turf, having drawn five and lost seven since their 1-0 success at Argentinos Juniors in October.

River finally broke the spell and scored 5 last week, and I expect this trend to continue against this irregular Lanus.
