Feb 27th features a match where Racing Club hosts Lanús in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 28 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. In their last match, 14th placed Racing Club, recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Arsenal de Sarandi. Gonzalo Piovi scored the first goal for Racing Club in the 29th minute, then Facundo Mura added another in the 39th minute on a feed from Juan Nardoni In the end, Arsenal de Sarandi couldn’t muster any offence and Racing Club ran away with the shutout win. Racing Club is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while lanús sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Rosario Central. Franco Troyansky scored the first goal for Lanús in the 55th minute, then De la Vega added another in the 60th minute In the end, Rosario Central was frustrated by Lanús’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Lanús ended the match with the shutout victory. Lanús should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Racing Club won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Both Orozco and De la Vega have been the hottest scorers for Lanús in the last five each having scored 2 goals each. Gabriel Hauche and Maximiliano Romero are the top scorers for Racing Club in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
