Week 26 brings us a match on Oct 18th where Lanús plays host to Racing Club in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 19 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 27th placed Lanús is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Patronato. Héctor Acevedo struck first for Patronato in the 68th minute from the penalty spot, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Lanús couldn’t manage to score, and Patronato took the shutout win. Lanús looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Racing Club recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Atlético Tucumán. Enzo Copetti struck first for Racing Club in the 6th minute, then Eugenio Mena added another in the 44th minute In the end, Atlético Tucumán couldn’t muster any offence and Racing Club ran away with the shutout win. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Racing Club should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Racing Club won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Both Maximiliano Romero and Anibal Moreno have been the hottest scorers for Racing Club in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each. Lanús hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Brian Blando and Leonel Di Plácido, and they each have 1 goal.
