Estudiantes vs Lanus Prediction: Lanus Coming off Two in Two Wins

In the upcoming fixture of the Argentine Primera Division, Matchday 3, Estudiantes will square off against Club Lanus at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi in Argentina. Going in the contest, Estudiantes stands 22nd with a draw and 1 point, whereas Lanus stands 5th with two in two wins and 6 points. Estudiantes and Lanus have a decorated past of events. The last time these two played against each other, Estudiantes won (3-1). Since 2018, Estudiantes carry an unbeaten form against Lanus in Super Liga and Argentine Primera Division. With Estudiantes playing at home, the upcoming fixture’s odds are likely to favor Estudiantes. 

Though Estudiantes didn’t start the Primera Division as expected, it did secure a comprehensive win against Independiente Chivilcoy (3-0) in Copa Argentina. Estudiantes managed a draw against Arsenal de Sarandi (1-1), in which Matias Godoy scored the only goal for Estudiantes. Against Chivilcoy, Mauro Mendez, Juan Guasone, and Mauro Boselli scored goals. Talking about Estudiantes chances for the upcoming matchup, it has won 15 direct matches from 42 played against Lanus. With 50 goals scored at an average of 1.19 goals per game, Estudiantes is likely to score a goal at least against Lanus. Estudaintes has conceded 7 goals in its last 5 outings, averaging 1.4 goals per game.

Going in the matchup, Lanus is coming off a win against San Lorenzo (2-1), in which Leandro Diaz and Matias Esquivel scored goals in the first half of play. If Lanus manages to score a goal or two in the first half of play, we can expect a 1-2 scoreline.However, with two red card suspensions; Lautaro Morales and Luciano Boggio, Frank Kudelka will have to find decent alternatives. Without any doubt, Lanus has produced a dream start in the Primera Division, however, its form against Estudiantes is below-par. In 42 matches, Lanus has scored 30 goals at an average of 0.71 goals per game against Estudiantes. Moreover, Lanus has conceded 5 goals at an average of 1 goal per game in the last 5 outings.

For the upcoming contest, Lanus is likely to carry its winning form, however, Estudiantes will stand as favorite for winning. Secondly, Estudiantes will extend its confidence from the last Copa Argentina win, extending its win count against Lanus. I am predicting either Estudiantes to win or the match to end in a draw. The final scoreline is likely to be 2-1 at the end of play.

• Estudiantes to Win for 1.9
• Goals Over 2.5 for 2.10
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.91
