Godoy Cruz vs Lanús Prediction – Argentine Superliga

The visiting side currently occupies 16th place, having gathered 15 points from 3 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses. In their penultimate match, they held San Lorenzo to a 1-1 draw away from home. Their latest match also ended in a 1-1 stalemate at home against Independiente. Notably, Lanús is less affected by the home advantage, registering similar results both at home and away. In the last 30 matches, they have recorded 3 wins, 8 draws, and 4 losses away, with a total of 15 goals scored and 16 conceded. At home, they have fared slightly better with 6 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses, tallying up 17 goals scored and only 7 conceded. In their last outing in the South American Bridgestone Cup, they managed a convincing 3-0 victory over Melgar at home. Over their last 6 league games, Lanús has secured 1 victory, 3 draws, and suffered 2 defeats, accumulating 6 points from a possible 18.

However, Lanús has not won any of their last 4 matches away from home in this competition. Their away fixtures typically yield few goals; 16 of their last 25 matches have concluded with fewer than 2.5 goals. This team often struggles to score first, having only managed to open the scoring in 2 of their last 12 matches in the Argentine Superleague, and they’ve only managed to take a lead into half-time in those 2 matches, ultimately winning at the 90-minute mark in both. In 12 appearances this season, they have conceded the first goal in 7 matches, struggling to rebound. Notably, 9 of the 25 goals they have conceded across all competitions came between the 46th and 60th minutes.

Lanús arrives with confidence, positioned within the qualification zone and exhibiting a level of solidity in their performances. They have showcased tactical balance with solid defensive structure and a knack for decisive play. Even when playing away, they maintain an ambitious outlook, seeking three points to stay competitive in the top tier. The task ahead lies in neutralising the opposing team’s attacks and maintaining control throughout the match. Lanús understands that consistency is critical at this juncture of the season. A favourable result could solidify their standing and bolster confidence for the upcoming matches.
