Betting on Racing
Fernando Gago’s team start to the campaign was not the best, and the team now is 13th place in the standings. It has attained only five points, not enough for a team that fought last season until the last minute and that during the recess was reinforced like no other club in Argentine soccer.
During the week, the team played the round of 32 in the Copa Argentine, and it defeated San Martín de Formosa 3-1, in a match that will be remembered for being the goal-scoring debut of Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero, who sealed the difference by scoring La Academia‘s third goal.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Gabriel Arias; Facundo Mura, Leonardo Sigali, Gonzalo Piovi, Gabriel Rojas; Aníbal Moreno, Juan Nardoni; Matías Rojas, Gabriel Hauche, Johan Carbonero; Maximiliano Romero.
Betting on Lanus
El Granate has an ideal score, having won all the matches it has played: 2-1 against Colón, in Santa Fe; 2-1 against San Lorenzo, at home; 2-0 against Estudiantes, in La Plata and 3-0 against Rosario Central, at home.
With nine goals scored, it is the top scoring team of the tournament, along with Huracán. Also, the team has conceded just a few goals, only two in four matches, which makes it the team that has conceded the least number of goals.
Moreover, Lanus’ goals were scored by the three players who score the most goals in the team: Franco Orozco, Franco Troyanski and Pedro De La Vega, all three with two goals each.
For this Racing vs Lanus clash, Frank Kudelka, coach of the visiting team, is waiting to get news regarding the evolution of Juan Sánchez Miño, who was sidelined in the defeat to Central due to an injury. Meanwhile, Cristian Lema, who is suspended, will not be available for the match.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Lucas Acosta; Brian Aguirre, Diego Braghieri, José Canale, Julián Aude; Raúl Loaiza, Tomás Belmonte, Luciano Boggio; Matías Esquivel, Pedro de la Vega, Franco Troyanski.
JefeBet Prediction
The history between Racing vs Lanus shows that they have met 129 times in the professional era, of which the Avellaneda team has won 63 times and the team from the neighboring city has won 37 times.
Undoubtedly, this seems to be the best match of matchday 5 of the Argentine First Division, in which it is expected to see many scoring chances generated by offensive side of both teams. Still, at JefeBet we believe that the three points will stay at the Cilindro.
Prediction: Racing wins 3-2.
