On Wednesday night, Colon Santa Fe and Lanus clash at the Estadio Eva Peron de Junin in the last 32 of the Argentinian Copa.
Colon Santa Fe form guideThe home team are experiencing a difficult domestic season, as they are currently in 27th place in the Argentinian Primera Division. A 2-0 defeat at Arsenal Sarandi means that Colon has now failed to win in their previous seven matches in all competitions.
The fact that Nestor Gorosito’s team has failed to score in five of their last six matches in all competitions has been a big factor in their recent poor run.
Colon has a recent inconsistent record in the Argentinian Copa, although they have lost just once in their previous nine games in the competition over 90 minutes. They are also relatively strong on home soil of late in the Copa, winning three of their last four matches.
Lanus form guideThe visitors ended a poor recent run of form by recording a home win over Barracas Central. The victory also ended a four-game winless run in all competitions and saw Lanus score at least two goals for the third time in four matches.
Lanus have a mixed recent record in the Copa Argentina, as they have only won three of their previous six matches. Their recent games in the competition have been high-scoring, though, as their last five games in the competition have produced over 2.5 goals.
The visitors don’t have a long history in the Argentinian Copa on their travels, as they have played just four away matches in the competition. The record includes two wins, one draw and one victory over 90 minutes. Their away games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches on their Copa travels.</p> What am I backing?
Both teams have been unconvincing lately, and I believe this will be a close contest. Therefore, the bet I am backing is for this game to produce under 2.5 goals.
