River Plate vs Lanús prediction, odds and how to watch

Barracas Central claimed a remarkable away win at River Plate, scoring once through a first-half left-foot finish and defending with remarkable discipline to hold out a side that generated 15 shots but converted none of them.

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.

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.

River Plate travel to La Plata on Wednesday 29 July with three straight away wins and just one goal conceded on the road in their last five. Gimnasia are improving at home but their defensive record against top-two opposition is the concern. Sophie Hargreaves breaks down the patterns that will decide this one.

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.

River Plate sit second in the Liga Profesional but their home form is far from convincing. Barracas Central travel to El Monumental unbeaten in their last four away matches and they will fancy their chances.
