Lanus have experienced a mixed bag of results in their last five matches. Their form reads as follows:

• Lanus vs Fluminense 1-0 (Copa Sudamericana)
• Lanus vs Independiente Rivadavia 1-0 (Clausura)
• Argentinos Juniors vs Lanus 0-1 (Cup)
• Velez Sarsfield vs Lanus 3-0 (Clausura)
• Lanus vs River Plate 1-1 (Clausura)

Although their recent form has shown promise with two consecutive wins, their overall goal-scoring record has been quite modest, averaging just 0.60 goals in these matches. Defensively, though, they’ve kept two clean sheets in their last five games, showing a bit of resilience at the back.

With Mauricio Pellegrino at the helm, Lanus will look to capitalize on their solid defensive structure and home advantage against Platense. However, the top scorer Rodrigo Castillo’s suspension could hamper their attacking threat.

Lanus Key Players

Lanus will be looking to key performers to guide them to success against Platense. One notable absentee will be their top scorer, Rodrigo Castillo, who is serving a suspension. This puts additional pressure on players like Eduardo Salvio and Marcelino Moreno to step up in the attacking department.

Mauricio Pellegrino’s expected lineup for Lanus:

• Goalkeeper: Nahuel Losada
• Defenders: Nicolas Morgantini, Ezequiel Munoz, Carlos Izquierdoz, Sasha Marcich
• Midfielders: Agustin Medina, Agustin Cardozo, Eduardo Salvio, Marcelino Moreno, Alexis Segovia
• Forward: Walter Bou

Watch out for the midfield battle where Marcelino Moreno’s creativity will be critical. His duel against Platense’s Rodrigo Herrera could shape the match’s flow. Meanwhile, Carlos Izquierdoz will aim to keep a tight lid on Platense’s top scorer, Ronaldo Martinez. These key battles might very well decide the outcome of this encounter.

• Ramiro Carrera (Muscle injury) – Potential return in a few weeks
• Juan Ramirez (Muscle injury) – Potential return in about 1-2 weeks
• Luciano Romero (Muscle injury) – Potential return Early October 2025

These absences, particularly that of Rodrigo Castillo and a few key midfielders, could hinder Lanus’s ability to control the game and convert chances, adding pressure on the remaining squad members to step up.

Lanus Tactics and Formation

Under the guidance of Mauricio Pellegrino, Lanus deploy a structured 4-2-3-1 formation. This tactical setup allows flexibility in both defence and attack. With two defensive midfielders, Lanus aims to shield the backline and negate Platense’s attacking threats. Marcelino Moreno, playing as an attacking midfielder, is crucial for creating opportunities and linking up with forward Walter Bou.

Defensively, Lanus have been relatively strong, keeping two clean sheets in their last five games. An interesting aspect of their strategy is their increased attacking intensity in the 61-75-minute interval, where they have scored most of their goals this season.

However, the suspension of their top scorer, Rodrigo Castillo, means other attacking players like Eduardo Salvio will need to step up and fill the void.
