At the same time, but in Montevideo, another defining match will be played between Wanderers from Uruguay and Barcelona from Ecuador, a result that will keep the “maroon” fans in the south of Buenos Aires on edge
Lanús is first with 8 points (+2 balance), Barcelona follows with 8 (+1), Wanderers has 7 (-1) and without chances the Venezuelans are located with 3.
Yes Lanus win, they will have to wait for what happens with the Ecuadorians in Uruguay, because if Barcelona wins, the qualifiers will be decided by the balance of goals, for this reason it is important for the Argentine team not only to win but also to do it by a good difference.
In the event that Lanús has a bad night and only draws, they will have to wait for there to be no winner in Uruguay to qualify for that narrow margin of a somewhat difference in the balance, because if Wanderers or Barcelona win, that will be the qualifier.
The bad news for Lanús will be the absence of striker José López, who tested positive for Covid-19 and will not be able to participate in the contest, defining a possible classification.
In this context, then, a good day by veteran José Sand will be vital.
López’s is the second case of coronavirus reported by Jorge Almirón’s squad since goalkeeper Fernando Monetti missed the match against Wanderers last week for the same reason.
Lanús should have been classified but last Thursday, at home, they suffered an incredible defeat against Wanderers by 1-2. They won 1-0 with a goal from Alexander Bernabei at 84 minutes and everything collapsed with goals from the easterners at 87 and in the second additional minute.
Metropolitanos is without chances, it is second, together with Zamora and Carabobo, in the Venezuelan tournament, five points behind Monagas. Those led by José María Morr will come to Buenos Aires to comply but as a visitor they lost narrowly to Barcelona (0-1) and Igualó (1-1) to Wanderers.
When do Lanús vs Metropolitanos play?
The match will be played tomorrow from 7:00 p.m. at the Ciudad de Lanús-Néstor Díaz Pérez stadium, with the Brazilian Braulio da Silva Machado refereeing.
