Prediction

Sarmiento is currently at the top of the Argentine Primera División standings, with both their attack and defense at an elite level. At home, they have an impressive record of 8 wins and 2 draws, remaining unbeaten. During this run, they have conceded only 2 goals and scored 18. Their home form is extremely strong, and they are highly capable of securing points. However, their form has slightly declined recently, as they have won only 1 and drawn 4 of their last 5 matches, with a vulnerability of conceding goals in almost every match.

Lanús has had a fairly average season in the Argentine Primera División, currently sitting 18th in the standings. They have scored 22 goals but conceded 28, with their defensive performance being quite underwhelming. In terms of the squad, players like Walter, Mo-Reino, Salvio, and Acosta have shown decent individual performances. However, the team struggles on the road, with just 1 win, 4 draws, and 5 losses in away matches, making their away form among the weakest in the league.

Despite Sarmiento’s recent dip in form, they are still widely respected, and considering Lanús’ poor away record, we lean towards a home win for Sarmiento.

Pick: Sarmiento -0.5, -1.0
