As part of the return leg of the 1/8 finals of the South American Cup, the players of Lanus and Independiente del Valle will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? LiveResult.Ru evaluates the opponents' chances of success.
"Lanus"
In the current season of the Argentine championship, Lanus is not performing in the best way. The team of the current owners is in a distant 25th place, dreaming of going higher. After 6 rounds, the team won only 1 meeting and drew twice, which allowed them to score only 5 points. In the last two meetings, the team was inferior. First, she lost on the road to River Plate with a score of 1:2, after which she could not come up with anything in the confrontation with Union Santa Fe, losing to the opponent with a score of 0:3. In the first meeting of the 1/8 finals of the South American Cup, the team lost to Independiente with a score of 1:2.
Independiente del Valle
In the Ecuadorian championship, Independiente is on the 4th line in the standings. The team of today's guests has 27 points, and the gap from the leader in the person of Barcelona is only 3 points. It is worth noting the fact that after a series of victorious matches, the visiting team stopped a little. She lost to "Mushuka", after which she painted a draw with the club "October 9". In the first meeting, the grandee from Ecuador managed to defeat his opponent today with a score of 2:1.
Statistics and figures:
- The hosts are the favorites of the meeting;
- "Lanus" lost 4 meetings from the previous 5;
- Independiente does not know defeats in all tournaments in 5 matches;
- The first meeting between the rivals ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of today's guests.
Forecast
I don't believe that Lanus in its current form will be able to show anything. Most likely, Independiente will come to the opponent's field, and will be able to achieve a draw, which will allow the team from Ecuador to go further.
