The Gimnasia Mendoza vs Atletico Lanus preview highlights that Lanus are a structured unit who operate at high intensity, pressing hard and showing tactical flexibility between their 4-3-3 system and three-at-the-back variants.
Mauricio Pellegrino has instilled a European structure to this Lanus side with excellent transition play and a clear identity on the field, but Franco is in the early stages of a transition with the club.
Gimnasia Mendoza have been more compact and risk-averse, but recent signs of improvement in their ties with Platense and Gimnasia y Tiro were followed by penalty heartbreak in the Copa Argentina.
It’s difficult to say if the hosts will have the character to push on in their bid for survival, but they should at least be tough to beat as they have shown plenty of fight lately. That being said, our Gimnasia Mendoza vs Atletico Lanus prediction suggests the hosts may struggle to find their finishing touch against a well-drilled visiting side.
The visitors are the team in form, however, as they come into this game on the back of back-to-back 1-0 wins against Banfield and Always Ready.
Yoshan Valois has given Lanus some bite up top, netting 2 of their last 3 goals in all competitions, while Facundo Lencioni offers the hosts some creativity in their midfield.
Agustin Modica is the main attacking threat for Gimnasia, netting 3 goals in 10 league appearances, and they will need more clinical finishers at this level.

At home, Gimnasia have won 2, tied 1 and lost 3 of their 6 league games, averaging 1.00 goals per game for and 1.17 against.
Lanus have won 3, tied 2 and lost 2 away from home, conceding 1.29 goals per road game and 9 in total.
With Gimnasia’s transition from defensive to offensive in its early stages, Lanus’ pressing game should hurt them at times and they are likely to get at least one goal in the game.
