Betting on Lanus
Lanús had an unbeaten record and had only tasted victory until their visit to Racing last week, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat. However, the team managed by Frank Kudelka put up a good fight and did not make it easy for Fernando Gago’s team.
Colombian player Raúl Loaiza scored the equalizer in that game, which allowed the club to maintain its positive goal difference of +6 (with 10 goals for and only 4 against). Despite the loss, they continue to lead the standings with 12 points, sharing the top spot with Defensa y Justicia and Talleres de Córdoba.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Lucas Acosta; Brian Aguirre, Felipe Aguilar, José Canale and Julián Aude; Raúl Loaiza and Tomás Belmonte; Matías Esquivel, Lautaro Acosta and Pedro De La Vega; and Leandro Díaz.
Betting on River Plate
River Plate has been struggling for a while, even during the last days under their former coach Marcelo Gallardo. Despite having by far the best team in Argentina, they have not been meeting expectations under current coach Martín Demichelis, especially after a three-month preseason to fine-tune their gameplay.
Their recent loss to Arsenal, who were previously the worst-performing team in the league, was a tough blow, especially as it was a home game at the Monumental in Buenos Aires.
Changes are expected, with Agustín Palavecino or Rodrigo Aliendro likely to enter the starting lineup to assist Enzo Pérez, who has been carrying most of the midfield workload. Additionally, Nicolás De La Cruz may return to the starting lineup after a nearly three-month absence.
Probable lineup (4-3-1-2): Franco Armani; Robert Rojas, Leandro González, Enzo Díaz and Milton Casco; Enzo Pérez, José Paradela, Pablo Solari or Agustín Palavecino or Rodrigo Aliendro; Ignacio Fernández; Miguel Borja and Lucas Beltrán.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of Lanús vs River Plate indicates that they’ve met 123 times in the professional era, of which Lanús won 23, and Los Millonarios 71.
Demichelis’ team will have to adjust their defense, which suffers even against extremely weak teams, if they want to win. This will be no small feat, especially if they take into account that on the other side they’ll have one of the highest scoring teams of the tournament. At JefeBet, we believe that this upcoming match is a must-see and that River Plate will bounce back..
Prediction: River Plate wins 2-1.
