Lanus statistically have scored in 60 percent of the games and have kept a clean sheet in 50 percent home matches. On the defensive side they have only allowed more than 1 goal once in the last 8 matches. Their strategy is quite pragmatic: they are concentrated on defending compactly and taking advantage of transitional situations.
