Lanus
- Lanus are unbeaten in their last 5 matches, winning 4 and drawing 1.
- Atletico Lanus are sitting pretty in 4th place in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 with 7 points from their 3 games played so far, suggesting they could be a solid bet to make the top six again in 2026.
- Mauricio Pellegrino’s men have shown a good degree of consistency early in the campaign, particularly in defence where they are very well organised.
- Pellegrino, who took over in January 2025, has created an impressive, disciplined team that can play football when required, but who are most dangerous on the counter-attack.
- Marcelino Moreno is their primary weapon with 3 goals in 3 games in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026, and 5 in their last 4 in all competitions.
- Rodrigo Castillo is the creative hub of this team and his 3 assists in 3 league matches have helped to set up plenty of opportunities during Lanus’s recent 10-goal surge.
Talleres de Cordoba
- Talleres de Cordoba have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 in all competitions.
- Carlos Tevez’s Talleres de Cordoba have not looked as fluid in the offensive third and their early season results show it.
- The Cordoba side are languishing in 18th place in the table after taking just 3 points from their first 3 league games.
- Their most recent results are a 1-2 home defeat to Platense and 2-0 home win over Argentino Merlo in the Copa Argentina 2026.
- Augusto Schott is the top scorer for Talleres with 1 goal in 3 league games.
- Valentin Depietri has shown some promise recently, scoring 2 of the team's last 5 goals in the previous 4 matches.
- Tevez prefers to play a slower tempo than Lanus and his team are more patient in their build-up with more intricate passing triangles inside.
Head-to-Head
- The hosts have won their only game at home this term and are unbeaten in their last 5, while Talleres have lost their only travelling game, conceding 2 goals.
- Lanus are more experienced on the continental stage and have a clearer idea of what kind of team they are under Pellegrino.
