Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Lanús & Sol de Mayo face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Argentina. All the pre-match information is available here!
These teams have little in common geographically as Sol de Mayo have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
These are hectic days for the home side, as they played only one day ago in the Superliga. That game was an away game at Estudiantes, so at least Lanús are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
