Command Analysis

Lanus

Current form
Lanus is one of the main discoveries of the current South American Cup – before the start of the tournament, the “garnets” were not among the main contenders for the trophy. Having won the group, Ricardo Zielinski’s team easily dealt with Ecuadorian LDU from Quito in the 1/8 finals, but it was much more difficult with Colombian Independiente from Medellin, they managed to get past the Colombians only in a penalty shootout. In the first match, Lanus held on for a 1:1 draw and is now the favorite of the pair.
Disqualifications and injuries
Luciatti, Loiaza, Munoz, Morgantini, Dominguez and Jara are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lanus have not won in their last 11 matches – four defeats and seven draws
- Lanus have not scored in their last three home games
Tentative lineup : Losada - Caceres, Izquierdos, Perez, Barretto - Biafore, Boggio, Cabrera, Moreno, Carrera - Bow.

Cruzeiro

Current form
Cruzeiro, like its opponent today, was not considered a clear contender for the trophy before the start of the current tournament, but is one step away from the final. After winning the group, the Foxes with great difficulty and quite sensationally knocked out one of the main favorites in the person of Boca Juniors, then in the quarterfinals they had no problems with Paraguayan Libertad. In the Brazilian championship, Fernando Diniz team is only eighth so far and has minimal chances to fight for sixth place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dinenno is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Cruzeiro have not won in their last seven matches – two defeats and five draws
- Cruzeiro have not scored in their last three away matches

2.35Tip and bets
In the first match, Cruzeiro was considered a clear favorite, but did not live up to its status and allowed Lanus to hold on to a draw, at least leveling the opponent chances of reaching the final. Today, both sides will probably be extremely careful and the risk will be completely excluded, the price of a mistake in such a match is very high - victory in the South American Cup for both Lanus and Cruzeiro is the only chance to save the season, so it is unlikely that a goal extravaganza will be counted on.
We believe that the match will not be productive. Forecast - total under two goals . This bet is offered with odds of 1.81
Bet on the outcome
Considering the result of the first match, even the hosts will not dare to take serious risks – the “garnets” score very little and have serious problems with implementation, a missed goal from an opponent like “Cruzeiro” could be a death sentence. The teams will certainly try to solve everything in regular time, but unnecessary risks will be excluded – the probability of a draw in such a match is very high.
Bet - Draw. This bet is offered for 3.00

As the host, Lanus will probably spend most of the match attacking and will win the corners without any problems.
