Lanus manager Ricardo Zielinski will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Sarmiento.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Sarmiento, who had 13 shots on goal with 1 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 11 of their 13 games.  

They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 4 consecutive games without a win.

It was just a point apiece for Union de Santa Fe and Deportivo Riestra in their last match, which ended in a 0-0 draw.  They achieved 80% possession in that match and had 23 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Deportivo Riestra's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games overall.  

Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.  

Nicolás Orsini will be hoping to create problems for Lanus in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Union de Santa Fe.
