⭐ Editor's Pick
Despite their fairly high positions in the table, Lanús and Independiente are far from their best form and have not been showing consistent attacking play. So there is little reason to expect a large number of dangerous moments in their meeting. The head-to-head history fully supports this scenario: in 12 of the last 13 matches between the sides, no more than two goals were scored. Our bet is therefore total under 2 goals. Expected score: 0:0.
