Platense form and stats

The total Superliga results at home this season for Platense are 4-7-2 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Platense with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Defensa y Justicia game, 21 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

The fans are hoping that Platense will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the match against Huracán (placed 3rd). Benítez, an attacker, was the best performer for the team in that fixture, collecting a rating of 7.03 (out of 10). Benítez dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Heartbreak before that as Platense lost 1-2 at River Plate's place.

Low-scoring affair? In this team's last 13 league matches, 10 have had zero, one or two goals.

Platense aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López in the league, with only {11 goals} from 13 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Platense have conceded only 7 goals.

Lanús form and stats

Lanús have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 2-2-9 (13 played). With the Lanús losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Sand was the last player to score for the away team. Lanús haven't scored a league goal in the last 188 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Racing Club with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Pérez, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.01. Pérez hit one key pass and won 2 of 4 duels.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Patronato.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Lanús as they have only managed to score 10 times from 13 away games in the league. As for defending, Lanús rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 22 goals from these away matches.
