On July 5, Estadio Ciudad de Lanús – Néstor Díaz Pérez (Lanús) will host the match of the 23rd round of the Liga Profesional, in which Lanus will compete with Velez Sarsfield. The battle will start at 01:00 CET.

Lanus

The club has given up in a quite sharp manner. After all, “the Granate” took only second ever championship title in 2016, they reached the final of the Copa Libertadores for the first time a year later, and then, they also played in the decisive match of the Copa Sudamericana in 2020. Still, the team that had been in the top 10 finished penultimate in the previous draw of the Primera. Fortunately, it seems that it does not intend to linger at the bottom. The mark of a dozen victories has already been overcome, and Frank Kodelka’s wards have had only 1 defeat since the beginning of April – it was made by Gimnasia y Esgrima, in La Plata. At the weekend, it was possible to cope with Platense, which conceded only one goal and did not score in return.

Velez Sarsfield

The team collapsed even more painfully in the previous season. Having achieved the 5th place in the 2021 championship, “the Fort”, with its merits (10 championship titles!) and ambitions, finished the previous season just one step higher than Lanus, in the 26th position. And, that is the most important, while “the Granate” were pushing off the bottom and rushing up, the club from Buenos Aires seems to be stuck there, among the outsiders. The return of Ricardo Gareca to the coaching position seemed to be the way out (an experienced specialist had led to three champion titles in 2009-2012). Still, it hasn’t even been possible to win with him for a very long time (except the cup tournament, where the team played with no-names). Speaking about April and May, it played in the Primera without victories, and June brought the defeats in all 4 matches there. Then it turned out to beat Arsenal Sarandi, but this is actually the main outsider of the draw.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

First, Lanus had got 3 wins in a row, but then Velez Sarsfield answered in the same way. The opponents played a 2-2 draw only a year ago, in July 2022.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider the hosts to be the favourite of the following battle, and this idea is completely logical. Thus, we bet on the victory of Lanus (odd: 2.06).
