Atletico Tucuman will welcome Lanus to the Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro on Wednesday as they participate in round three of the 2021-22 Argentine Primera Division, with kickoff at 10:30 pm.
Lanus and Defensa y Justicia drew 1-1 on Friday in the Argentine Primera Division. Ignacio Malcorra put Lanus six minutes shy of halftime, but Raul Loaiza equalized midway through the second period to ensure a share of the spoils.
While El Granate has excelled in the Copa Sudamericana, they are yet to get off and running in the league and will be looking to do so at the third time of asking.
Wednesday’s hosts have won just one of their last 14 matches on the road, while only one of the most recent seven hasn’t ended in defeat.
Atletico Tucuman played an impressive goalless stalemate against River Plate in Sunday’s meeting at Antonio Vespucio Liberti Stadium.
In a spirited display, Juan Manuel Azconzabal’s men secured a hard-fought point when they held out for a 0-0 draw against Club Atletico Cordoba away from home.
The result leaves them in the bottom half of the league table after two games, but there is still plenty of time to turn things around. Next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who have won all ten matches between the sides since 2009.

Atletico Tucuman Team News
Marcelo Ortiz is now eligible to feature once again after he missed his side’s outing through a one-game suspension. Carlos Lampe started in goal against River Plate, and we expect him to retain his place in the side off the back of a superb performance last time out.
Lanus Team News
Malcorra is also on international duty with the Argentina Under-19 team. The away side will also be without Sanabria, a regular starter for the first team and scoring in each of his last two starts.
Prediction and Odds
Both sides have identical league records coming into this one, and there is little to choose between them. We fancy another draw in which neither side comes out on top.
- Draw
- Double Chance
- Goals Under 2.5
