Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Argentine Primera División match.
As they prepare for their head-to-head on Tuesday night, Lanús and Platense are separated by three points in the table. Both teams have struggled with scoring, so it might be worth considering other options for betting.
Lanús
November fixtures have helped Lanús escape the relegation zone. They secured victories against Boca Juniors (1:0) and Talleres Córdoba (2:1), though their issues in attack persist. The team have managed just 22 goals in 21 games—only five clubs in the top 20 of the Argentine Championship have scored fewer (including their upcoming opponents). At home, Lanús have exceeded a total over 2.5 in just 3 out of 11 matches.
Platense
Following a goalless draw with Deportivo Riestra, Platense extended their unbeaten streak to eight matches. During this run, they've conceded just three goals, and in the last five rounds, only one goal has been scored against them. It appears the team will dig in for points against a strong competitor, as they need two more wins to push closer to the tournament's top five.
Lanús vs Platense Prediction
Matches involving Platense average just 1.6 goals per game (the second-lowest in the championship). At home, Lanús are likely to play defensively against a team gaining momentum—both sides might end up without scoring.
