The Best Independiente vs Lanus Prediction and Picks
Contents
Two teams at opposite ends of the table are set to face off as Independiente take on Lanus in the Argentine Primera División. Here are some predictions and tips that may interest you ahead of the fixture.
Independiente to win
After a poor start to the season, Independiente are starting to gather a bit of momentum as they look to climb the division and finish in the top half. Los Diablos Rojos are unbeaten in their last three home fixtures and they will fancy their chance again against Lanus with the experienced striker, Martin Cauteruccio, leading the line. The 36-year-old has nine goals this season and will be looking to add to that tally at the weekend.
Over 2.5 goals
Both sides have been amongst the goals in recent weeks, while they have also been relatively leaky at the back, too. Each of Independiente’s last three games has seen at least three goals scored and the same can be said for three of Lanus’ last five fixtures. While Independiente have Caueteruccio up top, Lanus have the league’s top scorer in Leandro Diaz so expect plenty of goals in this one.
Independiente to score first
In three of their last four fixtures, Independiente have gotten off to a quick start and taken the lead. Manager, Ricardo Zielinski, likes his teams to get off to a quick start so expect the same here particularly as they are at home. Lanus, on the other hand, are a side that typically grows into games and performs better in the second half.
Independiente vs Lanus: Two in-form strikers to go toe to toe
Independiente
After a 12-game winless run that lasted from the start of February to the end of April, Independiente are currently in the process of turning their season around. Although relegation is now likely off the cards, the club will look to climb the table and finish as high as possible to give supporters something to cheer about after a miserable start to the campaign.
They have won their last two home games, against Tigre and Belgrano, which has lifted them five points clear of bottom place in the league and a third consecutive win could see them up to as high as 16th in the league table if other results go their way.
Lanus
Lanus are enjoying a good season in the Primera Division and are currently sitting in 7th position meaning qualification for next season’s Copa Sudamericana is definitely on the cards for Frank Darío Kudelka’s men.
They have only lost one of their last eight fixtures, building momentum via a solid defence and the goalscoring heroics of 30-year-old Leandro Diaz who is having one of the best seasons of his career.
