Betting on Independiente
When it seemed like Independiente was getting back on track after a poor run, uncertainty hit the team once again. It got defeated by a weak Arsenal team (2-1) in the last matchday, which also ended the team’s three-game undefeated streak.
Except for the match against Instituto, which ended in a draw, all the matches that Independiente started behind in the scoreboard, it ended up losing.
Playing at home, where the team has had a hard time attaining victories, it has won two games in a row: against Belgrano and against Tigre. However, it has been eight years since Independiente managed to defeat Lanús. Since its 4-1 victory in Avellaneda in 2014, seven matches have been played. In those matches, these teams have reached four draws and Lanús has recorded three wins, two of which were attained at Independiente’s stadium.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Rodrigo Rey; Baltasar Barcia, Joaquín Laso, Cristian Báez and Ayrton Costa; Sergio Ortiz and Kevin López; Mauricio Cuero, Matías Giménez and Brian Martínez; Martín Cauteruccio.
Betting on Lanus
Lanús is going through a great moment after an unusual 2022 that saw the team sinking to the bottom of the standings. Thanks to Frank Kudelka, the Granate team has gotten back in shape and is now 7th among 28 teams, with a record of eight wins, four draws, and four losses. The team has only lost one of its last six games and is coming off a hard-fought 1-0 home victory against one of the top teams in the league, Newell’s.
However, three of its four losses came while playing away. The team needs to be more disciplined, as it is one of the three teams with the highest amount of red cards (6). Moreover, it is one of the three teams with the most penalties awarded (7), although it has only managed to score 5 of them. What is surprising is that its positive record does not translate into dominance on the field, as it has one of the four lowest possession rates, with 44.56%.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Lucas Acosta; Juan Cáceres, Felipe Aguilar, Cristian Lema and Juan Sánchez Miño; Raúl Loaiza, Tomás Belmonte and Luciano Boggio; Franco Orozco, Leandro Díaz and Pedro de la Vega.
JefeBet Prediction
Independiente has finally lifted the burden of winning at home, but it will now face a team that plays better and that has always given the team a hard time. According to JefeBet, Lanús will earn a hard-fought but deserved victory in Avellaneda.
Prediction: Moneyline of Lanús (IND 1-2 LAN).
