Happy days for Lanús in their previous game, a Copa Sudamericana match away at Aragua that ended with a 1-0 victory. A Superliga defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Sarmiento.
The victory against Aragua came after J. López's winning goal. The Lanús manager L. Zubeldía was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 78th minute.
The Lanús manager L. Zubeldía has got the team scoring with 9 from 4 home games in the league. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
Vélez Sarsfield form and stats
As the visiting team in Superliga matches, Vélez Sarsfield, who have the most clean sheets (5) in Superliga, have produced an overall stat of 3-1-1 so far.
The manager M. Pellegrino was unhappy after their last game, a Copa Libertadores match played at their home ground Estadio José Amalfitani. Sarsfield suffered a 2-3 loss to Flamengo. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Huracan in the Superliga.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sarsfield manager M. Pellegrino as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against LDU Quito.
