Key Stats

– Lanus’s Impeccable Form: Over their last 13 league matches, Lanus have only suffered a single defeat, demonstrating their resiliency and tactical prowess.
– Velez Sarsfield’s Revival: Under new management, Velez Sarsfield managed to break their losing streak with a recent 1-0 victory against Arsenal Sarandi.
– Second Place Contention: With their undefeated streak of seven matches, Lanus are just one point shy of second place in the Argentine Primera Division, making their upcoming match against Velez Sarsfield crucial.

In an upcoming Argentine Primera Division face-off, Lanus eyes the chance to elevate themselves to the coveted second spot by vanquishing Velez Sarsfield. For the visitors, a recent triumph over Arsenal Sarandi has hoisted them up to the 24th slot, illustrating a considerable shift in their campaign’s trajectory.

Lanus, the historic victors of the 2007 and 2016 Primera Division, are once again demonstrating their capability to defy expectations. Currently managed by Frank Kudelka, Lanus are experiencing a remarkably robust season. Their present form serves as an impressive testament to their capabilities, given that they ended their last season at the second-bottom position.

A strong campaign has seen Lanus lose only a single match in their preceding 13 league encounters, a testament to their prowess and determination. They’ve gathered 15 points from a recent unbeaten streak spanning seven games, enabling them to narrow the gap with the second spot to a single point.

Their consecutive victories over Talleres de Cordoba and Platense provide them with a glimmer of hope, despite the formidable nine-point lead of the league’s frontrunners, River Plate. Facing their struggling adversaries, Velez Sarsfield, at Predio Lanus Auxiliar on Wednesday, they’ll be mindful of the potential impact of a new manager.

Velez Sarsfield’s recent managerial shift, which brought club legend Sebastian Mendez into the helm, has infused a new sense of optimism within their ranks. Sacked earlier this season due to a poor start, Ricardo Gareca’s replacement, Mendez, has immediately made his presence felt, helping the team break a four-match losing streak by clinching a win against Arsenal Sarandi.

Mendez, having made 177 league appearances for the club during his career and clinched three Argentine titles, a Copa Libertadores, and a Copa Sudamericana, is popular and highly revered. However, their upcoming game against Lanus on the outskirts of Buenos Aires promises to be a significantly sterner test for Mendez’s men.

Both teams are navigating through the challenges posed by injuries. Lanus will have to do without Raul Loaiza and Jose Canale, while Velez Sarsfield will miss the services of Gaston Gomez and Santiago Caseres. Notwithstanding these absences, both teams are expected to field competitive lineups for this crucial game.

Despite the 20 positions and 19 points currently separating these two teams, the recent managerial shift in Velez Sarsfield could bring them closer to Lanus. However, considering the momentum built by Lanus in recent months, we predict a Lanus victory with both teams scoring.

The recent form of Lanus, winning four and drawing two of their last six games, combined with Velez Sarsfield’s defensively weak record of four losses in their last six games, supports this prediction. Also, considering Lanus’ home advantage and their robust attack, as indicated by their average of 1.4 goals per game, we anticipate a match favoring Lanus.

However, Velez Sarsfield’s recent appointment of Mendez could bring about a resurgence in their attack, reflected by their victory over Arsenal Sarandi. Hence, they are expected to contribute to the scoreline.

When it comes to the correct score market, my suggestion would be to go for a 2-1 win for Lanus. As mentioned, the hosts have what it takes to prevail, but Velez are improving under the new manager and should be able to keep things close to avoid a negative impact on their rebuilding confidence.
