Lanus (DDWWL)

Lanús come into this game after a 0-0 draw against Velez Sarsfield. Velez held slightly more possession in the first half, 60 percent to Lanús' 40 percent. However, neither team managed to create many clear cut opportunities. Lanús didn't get a single shot on target, while Velez had four shots on target. Velez's Damián Fernández was sent off at the end of the first half and that was a turning point, as the hosts would now be playing the second half with a man down. Lanús made it 2-0 early in the second half, with simply too much possession to get on the end of, but they could only manage three shots on target while increasing possession to 58%. Velez, on the other hand, stood up well defensively, but struggled to turn their chances into actual danger. Velez fired more shots on target (4 to 0) and corners (11 to 3) but was unable to convert on either. Lanús had possession (51% to 49%) slightly in their favour and were more controlled, committing fewer fouls (9 to Velez's 20). A goalless draw was all that was on offer between two sides who created little and were not overly productive in front of goal but whose game was more frequently decided by their errors or fouls than by quality in the final third of the pitch. With this result, Lanús is in 20th place in the table with 28 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, with a record of 22 goals scored and 28 goals conceded.

Defensa y Justicia (DWWWD)

Defensa y Justicia comes into this game after a 1-1 draw against Deportivo Riestra. The home team started well, controlling 73% of possession, making 4 attempts on goal, one of which was on target, but without troubling the scorer. Deportivo Riestra meanwhile defended and capitalized on chances, 5 attempts and 1 on Target. The first 45 minutes saw both teams take some dangerous route, but the score remained unchanged. And the game grew more heated in the second half, with Deportivo Riestra opening the scoring in the 51st minute, Barrionuevo after Monje's assist. Defensa y Justicia were not going to lie down and play second fiddle, with 15 attempts at goal and 6 on target in this period. And injury time saw Cannavo equalise for the home team in the 90+2' minute after Herrera set him up. While more effective in their few attacking attempts, Deportivo Riestra decided to protect the result after their opening goal and found it difficult to respond to the speed with which their opponents played. Defensa y Justicia overall showed strong possession numbers (74%), as well as strong offensive volume, with 19 attempts on goal to Deportivo Riestra's 13, and 3 shots on goal to 7 shots on goal for the home team. To stay level the visitors' defensive solidity, 6 saves from the goalkeeper and 4 blocked shots were vital. Although they do not arrive with a victory, Defensa y Justicia built the play better than the visitors (Deportivo Riestra), and held them to effectiveness, especially in critical situations. With this result, Defensa y Justicia is in 24th place in the table with 26 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 3 wins and 2 draws, with a record of 24 goals scored and 31 goals conceded.
