This season, Cruzeiro’s players are playing very well in the second-highest club competition in South America, and the best confirmation of that is their placement in the semi-finals, where the representative of Brazil will compete against Lanus. In the quarterfinals, the former champion of Brazil eliminated the Paraguayan Libertad with a total score of 3:1. As for Serie A, Cruzeiro are currently in eighth place in the table. This team will certainly fight until the end for a place in the Copa Libertadores, which is the primary goal when it comes to this season. They are still undefeated at home in Copa Sudamericana this season, and it’s clear how much playing at home means to them. For this match, this team will miss several players as Rafa Silva, Japa, Vitinho, and Lautaro Diaz are injured, while Lucas Romero is suspended.
Lanus
Form: LLDDL
Like Cruzeiro, Lanus are playing very well in Copa Sudamericana this season, and this team eliminated Independiente from Medellin in the quarterfinals, after a better penalty kick performance. When it comes to the current situation within this year's edition of the elite level of Argentine football, Lanus are currently in a disastrous 22nd place in the table and we can safely say that this team has submitted everything to the Copa Sudamericana. In the last round of the championship, this team was defeated in their stadium by Independiente, 0:2. Their performance is constantly dropping, and they haven’t won a match in regular time since August.
Expert Betting Tips
It is known what home stadium means in such matches and considering the current form of these teams I give the advantage to Cruzeiro to win this match. I expect a little bit slow start to the match as both teams will want to secure their goal first, and then think about the attack. However, I expect by the end Cruzeiro to win with at least 2 goals difference and be more relaxed before the rematch in Argentina.
