Lanús form and stats

As mentioned below, Lanús are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Superliga games.

Lanús faced defeat in their previous match, away at Racing Club (1-2). The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going unbeaten through four league fixtures. Midfielder Loaiza was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.22 (out of ten) in that game. Loaiza scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Before that, Lanús had a home game versus Rosario Central which ended with a victory 3-0.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa Argentina game versus Sol de Mayo in only three days. This game is also played here at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús - Néstor Díaz Pérez.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Lanús at home in the league. 5 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

River Plate form and stats

River Plate have six points from their first three away games in the Superliga, meaning two victories and a loss.

River have much to rectify after their unexpected defeat (1-2) to Arsenal de Sarandi in their previous match, played at their own home ground. The attacker Beltrán got a match rating of 8.01 in that game. Beltrán served one assist and hit three key passes.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Tigre at their stadium, the result 1-0.

A quick return to home after this game, as River Plate are hosting Racing Cordoba in the Copa Argentina only three days away.

The visiting River Plate have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. It's not easy to score on River as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

River Plate have won every one of the 4 latest duels versus this side. Can they do it again?
