Atletico Lanus
- Atletico Lanus are unbeaten in their last 2 home games (W1, D1).
- This is a clash of styles, a tactical chess match that sees Lanus as a much more structured and possession-oriented side, looking to control the flow of the game, dominate the ball in midfield and pick their passes into the attack.
- They have the players to do so, particularly in the form of Dylan Aquino who has scored 3 of Lanus’ last 7 goals and is the orchestrator in the midfield.
- Mauricio Pellegrino has made them incredibly disciplined and compact, but that can come at the cost of a lack of penetration.
Always Ready
- Always Ready have drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 2 away games.
- Baldivieso’s side are full of verticality and they’re a direct, attacking team that like to play at a high tempo.
- They are always in the game, but they also leave themselves vulnerable to being counter-attacked, so it could pay off nicely for them if they can get their hands on the ball and flood the field in transition.
- With both teams looking for an important early win in the Group G standings, we could see a really open game with plenty of end-to-end action.
Key Players
Dylan Aquino has scored 3 of Lanus’ last 7 goals and is the orchestrator in the midfield.
