Lanus Preview
Lanús is the only Argentine team with a perfect record at the start of the tournament, having won against Colón, San Lorenzo and Estudiantes. The local team scored two goals in each of those matches, and only in the most recent game it was able to keep a clean sheet.
El Granate not only wants to maintain its undefeated record, but also to extend its winning streak in order to stay in the lead. The last time the team from the south of Buenos Aires lost was in October 2022 against Racing by a score of 0-1, and since then they have gone four games without defeat.
Although they do not have good home numbers, at least the first home result in this tournament was a win, and they now have three wins in 10 games in all competitions.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Lucas Acosta, Juan Sánchez Miño, José Canale, Cristian Lema, Brian Aguirre, Raúl Loaiza, Tomás Belmonte, Julián Fernández, Pedro de la Vega, Matías Esquivel, Brian Blando.
Rosario Central Preview
Rosario Central ended last year’s tournament with a five-game unbeaten streak and has continued on that path in this 2023, and is now undefeated in eight games. The arrival of Miguel Ángel Russo to the Canalla bench has paid off, with two wins in three games.
Central defeated Arsenal de Sarandí in last week’s match by a score of 2-1 to reach a total of seven points and move to the top of the standings. The team from Rosario has gone through several difficulties away from home, and has not been able to win many games, winning only two in the last 10 matches. Their only away game this season ended in a 2-2 draw against Tigre, taking their unbeaten run to three games without defeat.
Probable lineup (4-1-3-2): Gaspar Servio, Damián Martínez, Facundo Mallo, Carlos Quintana, Lucas Rodríguez, Francis Mac Allister, Kevin Ortiz, Gino Infantino, Ignacio Malcorra, Alejo Veliz, Jhonatan Candia
JefeBet Prediction
Lanús’ stadium is known as La Fortaleza, and it has really become one when it hosts Rosario Central, as it registers 10 matches without losing to this rival, recording five wins and five draws. The Granate’s current form suggests that they will be the favorites to get all three points here.
Prediction: Lanús wins by a score of 1-0.
