Estudiantes de la Plata
- Estudiantes de la Plata has won 3 of 4 home games in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026, conceding an average of 0.50 goals per game.
- Eduardo Dominguez’s men have been in solid form in the opening games of the season, registering 3 wins, 1 draw and just 1 loss in their last 5 games.
- They play a simple, possession-based style, allowing the double-pivot the time to dictate the play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, or a 3-4-2-1, depending on the matchup.
- They’re tough to beat because of their discipline and structure, which allows the wingbacks to provide width and creates chances in the last third.
Atletico Lanus
- Atletico Lanus has conceded 7 goals in 4 away games in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 and has won just 1 of their last 3 away games.
- Lanus is inconsistent in form, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their last 5 matches, a form that includes a dramatic 3-2 away win over Flamengo RJ in the Recopa Sudamericana 2025 and a chastising 0-3 home defeat to Boca Juniors.
- Mauricio Pellegrino’s Lanus has an almost opposite approach, preferring a pragmatic, high intensity style of play, where they press and then transition quickly, looking to exploit the flanks with pacey wingers.
Head-to-Head
In the 4 previous head-to-head meetings in all competitions, Lanus has won 2 to Estudiantes 1 , who have not beaten them in their last 2 attempts at home.
