International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Grêmio and Lanús are looking forward to this Copa Sudamericana fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Lanús have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Grêmio form and stats
3W-0D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Copa Sudamericana for Grêmio. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Grêmio has won four games in a row. The Caxias match was the last time out without a victory. Grêmio has won so many consecutive home games (seven in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Arena do Grêmio. We remember; it was São Paulo.
Ahead of that match, Grêmio won a home game hosting Aragua (8-0).
The manager T. Retzalff Nunes will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Internacional in only three days.
Lanús form and stats
They also participated in Copa Sudamericana last season. This ended in the final.When we have look at the Copa Sudamericana statistics, we find 2W-0D-1L. This is both home and away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Lanús have lost on their last two travels.
Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at La Equidad.
