Lanus take on the visitors Independiente del Valle in the second leg of round of 16 in Copa Sudamericana. The match will be played on Friday, July 8th at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús – Néstor Díaz Pérez (Lanús)
Lanus can completely fail this season. "Pomegranate" - not a grand, but, for example, in last year's Liga Profesional they were able to finish in the top ten. In this draw, they are not successful, and this is to put it mildly. In Copa Diego Maradona only 15 points were scored in 14 fights - only Rosario Central had less in their group. In Liga, there was also a rather mediocre start. Against this background, just in the Cope Sudamericana, the Argentines were able to achieve major success. Yes, they took only 11 points, and that was enough to win the group. And suddenly after that there was a defeat in the first meeting of the 1/8 finals in Ecuador.

Independiente del Valle could focus on fighting in the Copa Sudamericana. "Black-and-blue" in recent years, like a hurricane burst into the ranks of the best, not only of their country, but of the entire region. At the end of last year, they managed to take the championship title, the first in history. Even before that, there was the final of the Copa Libertadores (2016) and even the victory in the Copa Sudamericana (2019). Now the club, having finished the national championship in May (unsuccessfully, falling to 4th place), can focus on the international arena. In the Cope Libertadores in the spring, it was not the best performance: 8 points allowed them to take only 3rd place. But on the other hand, thanks to this, having moved to a simpler tournament, the Copa Sudamericana, Independiente del Valle was able to start playing there with a victory. But "home" 2-1 - this is not the outcome of the meeting, which guarantees a ticket to the next round.
It was the first leg when Ecuadorians and Argentines played against each other for the first time. Lanus was very close to a draw, they leveled the score in the middle of the 2nd half, but Iovi scored the final 2-1 in favor of the hosting side in the 3rd added minute. Lanus definitely want to take revenge and go further. But Independiente del Valle will definitely try to squeeze the result from his advantage. We are waiting for good football and "more than 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
