Lanus welcome Gimnasia Mendoza to Estadio Ciudad de Lanus with the home side sitting comfortably in mid-table and unbeaten across their last five outings. Gimnasia arrive in freefall, having lost three of their previous four, and the gap in form between these two sides is wider than the eight points separating them in the standings. Pellegrino’s men have conceded just three goals across their last five matches, a defensive record that Gimnasia’s misfiring attack will struggle to break down.
Eduardo Salvio remains the creative heartbeat for Lanus, drifting between the lines and setting up chances from deep positions, while Carlos Izquierdoz has chipped in with a goal from the back and continues to anchor the defense. For Gimnasia, Agustín Módica is the one genuine threat in behind, scoring twice in his last five appearances despite his side’s wider struggles.
Hot stat: Lanus have won more than double the corners of Gimnasia Mendoza over their last five matches, 21 against just 10, a gap that underlines how territorially dominant the hosts have been in the final third compared to their visitors.

Lanus vs Gimnasia Mendoza prediction
We lean towards a comfortable Lanus win here, perhaps 2-0, with the hosts’ recent defensive solidity doing most of the heavy lifting. Gimnasia have scored in only one of their last five fixtures and their away form this season has produced just 16 goals in 14 matches, hardly the profile of a side capable of troubling a Lanus back line that has shipped only three in five. The hosts also sit eighth domestically with a positive goal difference, while Gimnasia linger in 14th with barely a goal to their name in recent weeks.
Both sides favor the 4-2-3-1 shape, but the execution differs sharply. Lanus average higher pass accuracy and fewer fouls per match, 43 fouls across five games against Gimnasia’s 57, suggesting the visitors will chase the game physically rather than through sustained possession. Gimnasia’s discipline issues, nine yellow cards in five matches, could easily extend if frustration builds against a Lanus side comfortable in control. Expect Lanus to dominate the ball and limit Gimnasia to rare transition moments.

Team Analysis
Lanus head into this fixture unbeaten in five, drawing 1-1 with Banfield most recently after beating Platense 1-0 and Velez Sarsfield 2-0 in the matches prior. That Velez result stands out, a clean sheet against a side many expected to trouble them. In our preview of Lanus vs Velez Sarsfield we backed a narrow home win built on sharper finishing from Salvio and Wlk Duré, and the eventual 2-0 scoreline delivered the victory we called, even if Velez failed to find the net as we expected. Pellegrino’s side have drawn twice and won three of their last five, a run that reflects steady if unspectacular progress.
Gimnasia Mendoza’s form tells a different story entirely. Their last match ended in a 1-2 defeat to Platense, following losses to Velez Sarsfield and Estudiantes LP sandwiched around a rare win over Newell’s Old Boys. In our preview of Gimnasia Mendoza vs Newells Old Boys we predicted a tight 1-1 draw built on both sides’ attacking struggles, but Gimnasia actually found a way to win 1-0, meaning our draw call went against us even though the low scoreline held. Three losses in their last four matches paint a worrying picture heading into Buenos Aires.
Most recent Head-to-Head Matches

Pre-game odds and win probability: Lanus the favourite
- Moneyline Lanus 1.46 | Gimnasia Mendoza 6.50
- Draw 4.20
The market leaves little doubt here. Lanus are priced as heavy favourites at close to 1.46, reflecting both their unbeaten run and home advantage at Estadio Ciudad de Lanus. Gimnasia’s odds drifting past 6.50 match their recent form, three defeats in four, and the bookmakers’ 62% implied probability for a home win looks fair given the gulf in defensive and attacking output between the two squads this season.
Possible Starting Lineups
Lanus possible starting eleven
- GK: Nahuel Hernan Losada
- DF: Carlos Izquierdoz, Sasha Julian Marcich, Tomás Guidara, Ronaldo Dejesús López
- MF: Franco Nahuel Watson, Agustín Cardozo, Diego Agustín Medina, Eduardo Salvio, Lucas Agustín Besozzi
- FW: Allan Steven Wlk Duré
Pellegrino sticks with his familiar 4-2-3-1, Watson and Cardozo screening the back four while Medina, Salvio and Besozzi rotate behind Wlk Duré. Izquierdoz, already a scoring threat from set pieces, remains the leader of a defense that has barely been breached lately.
Gimnasia Mendoza possible starting eleven
- GK: Cesar Rigamonti
- DF: Matías Emiliano Recalde, Diego Mondino, Juan Franco, Ezequiel Munoz
- MF: Nahuel Barboza, Esteban Fernández, Matías Vargas, Julián Ceballos, Facundo Lencioni
- FW: Agustín Módica
Franco also opts for a 4-2-3-1, leaning on Vargas and Lencioni to supply Módica, the only player with multiple goals in the recent sample. Rigamonti has been busy, 16 saves in his last four appearances, and he will likely need another big performance to keep this one close.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a routine Lanus win, likely 2-0, built on their tightened defense and Gimnasia’s inability to find consistent scoring. To be honest, nothing in Gimnasia’s recent data suggests they can match Lanus physically or technically away from home, and their disciplinary numbers only reinforce that gap. Backing Lanus to win and keep a clean sheet looks like the strongest lean of the round, with Under 2.5 goals and a corner-heavy afternoon for the hosts rounding out our staking plan.
