Head-to-Head
Newell’s Old Boys edged Lanus 2-1 at home in Liga Profesional 2024, but the roles could be reversed at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús - Néstor Díaz Pérez on Tuesday, with the home team in better form.
Key Players
- Lanus
- Marcelino Moreno is their danger man, with 3 goals in 4 league games this season.
- Rodrigo Castillo is the playmaker in the squad, with 3 assists in 5 league matches.
- Newell’s Old Boys
- Facundo Samuel Guch is Newell’s leading marksman, but he’s not much of a finisher, with just 1 goal in 8 league games this season.
Betting Insights
- The odds makers are luring punters towards Lanus with a shade of favouritism for the home side, with the hosts priced at 1.61, Newell’s Old Boys the 5.8 long shots and the draw at 3.6.
- The bookmakers have it about right here, based on Lanus’s superior overall form and Newell’s ongoing struggles, but Newell’s aren’t quite the 5.8 long shots that their odds indicate.
Prediction
- In truth, the two clubs are evenly matched, so the draw could be worth a small wager here.
- However, home advantage should allow Lanus to edge this one and earn all 3 points.
