Godoy Cruz vs Lanus Prediction: Can Lanus finally win an away match?

Godoy Cruz and Lanús will clash in the 13th round of Torneo Betano 2025 in an evenly poised battle as both them drew 1-1 in their previous matches.

Godoy Cruz (WDWLD)

Independiente Rivadavia and Godoy Cruz fought out a 1-1 draw for a point in a match at Godoy Cruz. The home side were good for venom despite possession for them only being a meager 39%, running up at least the goal of throwing in into the first half with Andino grabbing it late on. The only big chance they achieved in the game and it ended with 0.90 expected goals (xG), while it had just one shot on target. In the second half, they adopted a more passive appearance as they failed to generate any major attacking threat. Going forward, it is going to be very important for Rafael to be concentrated defensively, because if they were not able to put pressure on Rivadavia, he was able to find that equaliser.

Lanus (WDDDW)

They also split the honours in a previous encounter, tying 1-1 at home with Independiente. Salvio penalty gave them a foothold into second half before they trailed early to start this match. Although they had just 41% possession, but they were much more direct and dangerous in front of goal, 9 total shots and 5 on them, 1.70 xG. Notably, Independiente were technically superior to Lanús, but were contained well by the hosts, who restricted them to little big chances in open play. In terms of chances created, you could argue that the team have looked threatening when they pressure forward in the second half, with 5 attempts and 1.40 xG in that second half period.

Expert Betting Tips

Recent meetings between these two have been fair but perhaps Godoy Cruz’s home advantage and compaction of style may give them the edge. Lanús, however, grow into games and respond well to the second half, and they are a dangerous opponent. If anything, control of the midfield and defensive organization will be the key combatant in determining it. Normally, Lanús tends to start slowest, while Godoy Cruz has shown the ability to come back from a deficit. Both sides are likely to draw, but neither are shying away from a narrow win.
