Match Preview
In the upcoming Copa Sudamericana clash, Academia Puerto Cabello will host Lanús at the Estadio Olímpico Rafael Calles Pinto on Thursday. The home side has struggled recently, managing just one win in their last five matches (DLWLL), while Lanús arrives with a more consistent form, boasting three wins from their last five outings (WLWWL). This discrepancy in form could play a crucial role in the match dynamics.
Historically, the two teams have faced each other ten times, with Academia yet to secure a victory against Lanús, recording two draws and eight losses. Given this trend, Lanús will likely approach the game with confidence. The odds reflect this, with Lanús priced at 1.61 to win. Additionally, the over 2.5 goals market at 2.15 could be worth considering, as both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence, suggesting a potential for goals. With both teams needing points, expect an engaging contest that could see Lanús capitalising on their superior form.
