Lanús 2-1 Estudiantes result, stats and report

Independiente took all three points in La Plata with two late goals that bore no relation to the balance of play, exposing a structural problem in Estudiantes that the scoreline will only partially hide.

Lanús ground out a 1-0 win over San Lorenzo at home, with a 65th-minute goal settling a match they controlled from start to finish. The result extends Lanús's unbeaten home record and keeps their season ticking along.

Argentinos Juniors delivered a controlled 2-0 home victory over Lanús that confirmed the model's pre-match read, with the home side's defensive organisation proving too much for a Lanús attack that has conceded just seven goals all season but struggled to create going the other way.

Unión Santa Fe host a Lanús side that has scored just one goal across their last five matches, but whose defensive discipline may be enough to frustrate a home team struggling to convert possession into results. Our updated preview for the 6 August Liga Profesional fixture.

Boca host Estudiantes at La Bombonera on Wednesday night in what could be the defining fixture of the Argentine Liga Profesional title race. Four first-team absentees, a wobbling home record, and a dangerous away side make this one worth your full attention.

Lanús have not conceded a single home goal in their last five Liga Profesional matches, but San Lorenzo arrive at La Fortaleza on Sunday having gone unbeaten in five away fixtures, which means something has to give in what shapes up as a genuinely fascinating tactical contest.

Estudiantes host a porous Independiente side on Sunday with a chance to cement their place at the summit of the Argentine Liga Profesional. The visitors have not kept a single clean sheet on the road this season, and Connor Maguire is not about to pretend that is irrelevant.
