Lanus vs Colon Match Analysis and Prediction

4 years ago 575

Lanus will be having an encounter with Colon at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanus on Sunday in matchday four of the 2022 Argentine Primera Division.

The two teams head into the contest off the back of contrasting results last time out, but the game promises to be an entertaining one.

Lanus will be looking to claim their first win of the season after they were beaten 2-1 by Atletico Tucuman at the Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro on Wednesday.

Granate opened the scoring 11 minutes before the interval through Lucas Varaldo before a brace from Ramiro Carrera in the second half turned the game around.

Having picked up two points from three matches, Jorge Almiron’s side currently 25th in the league table and will need to get their season up and running as soon as possible.

Next up is an encounter against an opposing side who they have defeated in four of the most recent five meetings between the sides dating back to 2018.

Ahead of a tough contest against River Plate one week later, Sunday’s hosts will be looking to pick up a victory this weekend, which will prove to be a morale-boosting one.

Meanwhile, Colon managed to pick up their first win of the new season following a 1-0 victory over River Plate at the Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao Lopez on Wednesday.

Colonenses broke the deadlock in the 74th minute through Ramon Abila’s opener, which proved to be the decisive goal of the game.

As a result, Julio Cesar Falcioni’s side have moved up into eighth place in the standings and are now just two points behind Estudiantes at the top of the table.

However, Colon continue to struggle on the road as they have failed to win any of their last nine matches away from home since February 23.

Lanus news

Mateo Sanabria is set to miss out for Lanus as he is currently on international duty with the Argentina Under-19s, but Jose Sand could make his return to action this weekend.

Alexandro Bernabei and Pedro de la Vega are both sideline through injury and are not available for the hosts.

Colon news

Despite failing to extend his goalscoring streak to four games last time out, Colon’s Facundo Farias remains the player to keep an eye on.

Cristian Vega and Paolo Goltz will not play any part for the visitors in this contest as they continue to nurse knee and muscle injuries respectively.

Prediction and Odds

Colon head into the contest as the more in-form side between the two, but their struggles on the road make it difficult to fancy them to claim a victory here.

Lanus have been good at home in recent occasions but with their poor start to the new season, we predict a draw.
