Lanús will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Talleres.  They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Talleres' tally of 13 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

Manager Frank Darío Kudelka will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

There will be mixed feelings from Granate, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.  

Leandro Díaz will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Platense in this match, having already scored 4 goals in his last 6 away games for Lanús.
