Lanus (Argentina) – Deportivo Garcilaso (Peru)

Despite producing a poor performance in their debut in this competition, Lanus secured a valuable 1-1 away draw at Cuiaba EC thanks to a goal scored by Augusto Lotti in the 80th minute. On Sunday, Ricardo Zielinski’s men failed to secure their ticket to the Copa Liga Profesional playoffs as a result of a 2-0 away defeat to Racing Club. El Granate remain second-placed in group B on 23 points in group B. Following that loss, they are winless in the last three in all competitions, drawing two and losing one, and the same can be said about their matches at Estadio Nestor Diaz Perez.

Deportivo Garcilaso secured three massive points in the opening week by beating Venezuelan side Metropolitanos 3-2 at home with Anthony Gordillo netting the winner in the third minute of stoppage time. On Sunday, coach Bernardo Redin rotated most of his players and Los Gatos drew 2-2 at home against AD Tarma, a result that left them in 15th spot in the Peruvian league table with eight points after ten rounds. Garcilaso lost only one of their last six competitive matches (winning two and drawing three in regular time), but they lost four of the last six on away turf (along with a single victory and one stalemate).

5 of the last 6 Garcilaso games were goals fests with at least 3 in each of them but they’ve shown they can also score, getting goals in 7 of their last 8. Lanus has been too irregular so I don’t like the big spread here but I do like the chance of seeing many goals as the hosts must win this one.
