Instituto

LLLDLL ⚠

Instituto won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 2-1 Torneo Apertura loss in their previous game against Platense.

In that match, Instituto managed 55% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. The scorer for Instituto was Alex Luna (73'). At the other end, Platense had 10 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Franco Zapiola Yamartino (29') was the scorer for Platense.

It has been seldom in recent times where Instituto have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Instituto have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 9 goals on the way. That trend might not be sustained into this next game, however.

Lanús

DWDLWW

Lanús go into this clash following on from a 2-1 Torneo Apertura win against Unión de Santa Fe in their previous match.

In that game, Lanús had 60% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. For Lanús, the goals were scored by Ramiro Carrera (45') and Marcelino Moreno (56'). Union got 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Cristian Tarragona (66') was the scorer for Unión de Santa Fe.

Looking at their form, and Lanús have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 6 goals overall. Defensively, Lanús could really do with shoring things up.

📰 Team News: Instituto

The Instituto boss will be thankful to have no fitness worries at all ahead of this game owing to a fully injury-free squad ready to go.

It seems likely that La Gloria (The Glory) could line up in a 3-4-3 formation and select Manuel Roffo, Leonel Mosevich, Jonathan Galván, Fernando Alarcón, Giuliano Cerato, Juan Ignacio Méndez, Franco Moyano, Diego Sosa, Luca Rafaelli, Franco Jara and Alex Luna.

📋 Team News: Lanús

Owing to a fully healthy group to choose from, the Lanús boss does not have any fitness worries to report ahead of this clash.

We reckon that Granate appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Nahuel Losada, Tomás Guidara, Carlos Izquierdoz, José Canale, Sasha Marcich, Agustín Medina, Agustin Cardozo, Eduardo Salvio, Marcelino Moreno, Ramiro Carrera and Rodrigo Castillo.

✨ Prediction

It seems to us that Lanús and Instituto could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.

Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. Our tip is therefore for a score draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
