Who will win Lanús vs Vélez?

Our Lanús vs Vélez prediction is under 2.5 goals at La Fortaleza, most likely 1:0 to Lanús. Guillermo Barros Schelotto's Vélez Sarsfield are the only unbeaten side in the Clausura (5-6-0) and fourth in Zone A on 21 points; Mauricio Pellegrino's Lanús have 17 points and have kept four clean sheets in their last ten games. A home win and a draw are both realistic, so this is analysis only, with no bet.

Predicted score1:0
Main reasonWe think this is a one-goal game: Vélez do not lose in the Clausura, but they rarely open up, with only 3 of their last 10 games over 2.5 goals, and Lanús build from defence, with four clean sheets in ten.

No. 07 · Scenario & score

Lanús vs Vélez predicted score

Lanús control at home; Vélez rarely open up.

Lanús should control the game at home and can win it from a set piece, while Vélez have put only 3.9 shots a game on target over their last ten. 1:0 is our main score; 1:1 is the alternative if Vélez draw again, as they did in seven of their last ten. Under 2.5 goals wins with any score of two goals or fewer (0:0, 1:0, 1:1, 2:0, 0:1) and loses with 2:1, 2:2 or anything with three goals or more.

Why we back it

We think this is a one-goal game: Vélez do not lose in the Clausura, but they rarely open up, with only 3 of their last 10 games over 2.5 goals, and Lanús build from defence, with four clean sheets in ten. A Lanús win is more likely than a Vélez win, but the draw is very real, so our call is on goals. Our score is 1:0, and under 2.5 goals holds with 1:0 and with 1:1.

Why there could be three goals or more.

  1. Lanús games went over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 10.
  2. Vélez have scored 3.3 goals more than their shots on target suggest over their last ten games.
  3. Neither club had confirmed its squad when we published.

FAQ

What does Analysis mean?

Our full analysis of the match and the result we expect, without a bet.

How do you choose a pick?

We start from the market, then check a statistical model, named previews and our own scenario test against everything that moves the result: lineups, rest, motivation, style and team news. We publish when at least three of the four agree and the pick wins in the main scorelines. A warning sign, such as a back-up goalie or tired legs, moves us to a safer market or leaves the match as analysis only.

Can a prediction change after publishing?

No. The pick, odds and time are locked when published. Updates go into the log above.
