Lanus vs Fluminense: Prediction and odds on the Match on 17 September 2025

Lanús hosts Fluminense in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana 2025 quarterfinal at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús, with both teams aiming for a crucial advantage. Lanús, a bit shaky in their last five, advanced past Central Cordoba by penalties after an aggregate 1-1 draw across both legs. Fluminense, on the other hand, had a smooth sailing in the knockout stages after defeating America by a 4-1 aggregate score to secure their place in the Quarterfinals of the Sudamericana. 

Fluminense has yet to win a game in their last three Brasileirao matches, but they have been a different team in the Continental competition, and we believe they have all it takes to secure a slight edge in Argentina. This is the first-ever meeting between the teams, and we are more than excited for the spectacle that’s about to unfold at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanus on Wednesday. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Lanus: form and statistics

Form in all competitions: WLLDW

Lanús is hoping to recreate their campaign in last year’s Copa Sudamericana, where they made it to the semi-finals but eventually got knocked out by Cruzeiro by a single goal margin. This season, Lanús has enjoyed a solid campaign in the Copa Sudamericana so far, finishing top of Group G with an unbeaten run. They recorded three wins and three draws, scoring nine goals and conceding just four along the way. In the Round of 16, the Granate faced Central Córdoba and looked in danger after losing the first leg 1-0. But they fought back with a 1-0 win in the return leg before winning in the penalty shootout to secure back-to-back quarterfinal appearances.

Domestically, Lanús sits 4th in Liga Profesional de Fútbol Group B, recently defeating Independiente Rivadavia 1-0. With this victory on their shoulders, they’ll head into the Sudamericana quarterfinals determined to push harder and earn a spot in the semifinals.

Lanus Lineup

Coach Mauricio has a big problem on his shoulders, and it's on his long list of injuries. Pellegrino is likely to proceed with the typical 4-2-3-1 formation, with the key elements being a tight midfield and quick attacks down the flanks. His attack will be led by Walter Bou, who scored the winning goal in their last league game against Independiente Rivadavia. 

Player to watch out for: Rodrigo Castillo

26-year-old Rodrigo Castillo has been incredible in form for Lanus this season, with four league goals to his name already. 

🔖 Lanus starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Losada – Morgantini, Izquierdoz, Munoz, Marcich – Medina, Cardozo – Salvio, Segovia, Moreno – Castillo

⛔️ Out: De Jesus, Loaiza, Ortellado, Pena Biafore, Carrera, Luciano Romero,Lautaro Morales, Edgardo Ramirez, Franco Watson ( injured)

Fluminense: form and statistics

Form in all competitions: LWDLL

The Big Flu, winless in their last three Brasileirao games, aim for a positive outcome in this South American competition, where they last featured in 2022. They’ve also been poor in their last five games across all competitions, with only a single win in their last five. Their last league game against Corinthians showed some lapses within the team; they created a few big chances but couldn’t convert them to goals, and they paid dearly for it after Mathewzinho found the net for Corinthians in the 73rd minute to win the game for his team. 

Their journey in the Copa Sudamericana started with a top position in Group F, winning four games, drawing one, and losing one from the six group games. They then faced America in the round of 16, where they secured a 4-1 aggregate score, 1-2 in the first leg and 2-0 in the return leg. Their away form is bad with two losses in their last two away games, but the tides have to be different in this encounter. 

Fluminense Lineup

Renato rested some players in their game against Corinthians for this encounter. This goes to show the importance of this game in the grand scheme of things. He will field his regular 4-2-3-1 formation with Cano spearheading the attack.

Player to watch out for: German Cano

Argentine-born German Cano is the man to look out for in Wednesday’s clash. He has scored three goals for Flu in the Copa Sudamericana, and he will be aiming to increase his tally as they head into Wednesday’s clash.

🔖Fluminense starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Fábio – Julio Fidelis, Thiago Silva, Fuentes, Renê – Martinelli, Hércules, – Nonato, Moreno, Lima, Cano

⛔️Out: Samuel Xavier (injured)

👤 Head Coach: Renato Gaúcho

Lanus vs Fluminense match prediction 17 September 2025

Fluminense are no strangers to the big stage, having built their reputation in the prestigious Copa Libertadores. But after a dip in form last season, they now find themselves competing in the Copa Sudamericana for the first time since 2022. For Lanús, this competition has been their territory; they’ve been consistent contenders, though their unbeaten run this year was finally broken in the Round of 16 against Central Córdoba.

We expect a tough game, which will most likely end in a draw or with both teams finding the net. Lanus will hope to make the most of their home advantage, while Fluminense will hope for an away goal or an away victory to give them a chance in the return leg at Brasil. Lanus is also ravaged by injuries, and whether we like it or not, the long list of growing injuries is a major concern as they head into Wednesday’s clash.

Our match prediction is a total of over 3.5 corners for Fluminense for a coefficient of 1.75 in the 1xBet bookmaker.

Our betting tip on the match is a win or draw for Flu, and a total of under 3.5 goals for a coefficient of 1.76 in the Betway bookmaker.
