Sarmiento Junin vs Lanus Match Preview

Today's Copa de la Liga Profesional round brings us the matchup between Sarmiento Junin and Lanus at the Estadio Evan Peron. The match will be held behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sarmiento Junin comes from another defeat, this time to Uracan, losing 0-3 at home. However, Mario Sciacqua's team was more competitive on the pitch but this didn't reflect at all in the score of the match.

This result sent them to the second-to-last spot of the table, with a total of 7 points after 9 rounds played. Federico Bravo will miss today's game due to injury. In the following round, they will come up against Patronato.

Lanus, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 1-3 defeat to Newells Old Boys in the previous round. Despite taking the lead in the game, they conceded a red card and they totally lost their balance. Also, ten days later, they got disqualified from the domestic cup against Patronato. Currently, the team is in bad form, but still, they remain at the second spot of the table with a total of 16 points.

Luis Zubeldia and his team will try their best here to return to winning ways trying for a positive result. Tomas Belmonte is the only missing for Lanus, which is the one who was red-carded in the previous round. No other significant missings are reported for the visitors.

Sarmiento Junin might find it difficult here against Lanus who seek points to remain at the top of the league. They away win is my call for this one.
