Lanús form and stats
2-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Superliga numbers at home for Lanús so far this season.
Lanús are returning here after visiting Wanderers in a Copa Sudamericana match and winning with a 1-0 scoreline.
A 1-1 draw away in the Superliga before that, with Godoy Cruz the opponent.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lanús as they are travelling to their away game against Barcelona in the Copa Sudamericana. That match is four days after this one.

Independiente form and stats
There's been little loot from Independiente's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Superliga. Independiente only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.
Two trips in a row for Independiente, whose manager Domínguez could celebrate last time after the Copa Sudamericana win against Deportivo La Guaira.

The schedule is very tough for Independiente now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Sudamericana game at General Caballero JLM is waiting in only three days.
