Sarmiento 0-0 Lanus - Liga Profesional 2024 Statistical Preview

Having missed the game against Tigre following his arrest, Lucas Acosta returned last time out and will remain between the sticks here in spite of the insecurity around his long term situation.
A triple change at half time against Riestra is a pointer that changes will be made here.
One man who won't be pitchside is Israel Damonte following his red card against Riestra.

Felipe Pena Biafore's surprise return from River Plate is a major boost to Lanus' midfield options - as he showcased from the bench last time out.
Changes may be limited as a consistent line-up has worked for Lanus of late.

Prediction

After turning a corner under Israel Damonte with a three game unbeaten run, a loss to Deportivo Riestra last time out will have been a disappointment for Sarmiento.
A lack of goalscoring prowess is a major concern for Sarmiento - more often than not they lose when not keeping a clean sheet.
Lanus controlled the majority of their last outing against Godoy Cruz so it will have been a frustration to concede an equaliser late on to drop points.
With Sudamericana progress secured, Lanus can focus on domestic action in the short term and find consistency that they have missed so far this campaign.
