Lanus
- Lanus have lost their last three matches but are unbeaten at home (W1, D1) in their last two.
- Atletico Lanus currently sits third in Copa Libertadores Group G after taking 6 points from 5 games and needs points to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Mirassol FC
- Mirassol FC are having an excellent debut season in the Copa Libertadores, sitting at the top of the group with 12 points from their opening 5 fixtures, and they will be a formidable opponent for Lanus on Tuesday.
- The visitors have split their 2 away group games (W1, L1), scoring 2 goals, and Rafael Guanaes’ high pressing game has made them one of the most intense teams in the group.
Head-to-Head
Mirassol won the reverse fixture 1-0 six weeks ago and their high pressing style and energy levels could trouble the more deliberate Lanus side.
Key Players
- Agustin Cardozo is Lanus’ top scorer in this season’s Copa Libertadores with one goal in four appearances, and the forward can be an outlet for their midfield players.
- Marcelino Moreno has one assist in four games and has given the team a bit of flair in the midfield.
- Alesson Batista has been Mirassol’s most dangerous weapon in the attack, and also a key player in transition, with one goal and three assists in his four group games.
Betting Insights
Under 2.5 goals is 1.62 and both teams to score - No - is 1.64 , which looks a great price given what’s at stake for both sides.
Prediction
- Lanus are home team in this fixture and it will be an interesting clash of styles - Pellegrino’s structure first approach against Guanaes’ proactive, high-pressing philosophy.
- We think a home win for Lanus is on the cards here and are supporting the hosts to edge this one at 1.78, but it could be a low-scoring affair.
