Lanús and Platense will face each other this Friday at Estadio Néstor Díaz Pérez in Matchday 9 of the Clausura 2025, with the match starting at 9:15 p.m. local time. Pablo Dóvalo will be the referee, and the game will be shown on ESPN Premium. Lanús enters this match in high spirits after a win against Fluminense in the Copa Sudamericana, boosting their confidence at a crucial time in the season.
Under coach Mauricio Pellegrino, the team has hit form at the right moment. The 1-0 victory over Fluminense in the first leg of the continental quarterfinals was a significant boost, and they also recently secured a win against Independiente Rivadavia in league play. Although they faced elimination in the Copa Argentina against Argentinos Juniors, Lanús remains competitive in both tournaments and looks strong at home.
Platense, led by Cristian González, is working hard to reach the playoff spots. Despite a setback with a 3-1 loss to Godoy Cruz in Vicente López, they recovered with a 2-1 win over Defensa y Justicia in Florencio Varela. To progress, they need to earn points in away games, especially in a venue where Lanús usually performs well.
The competition in Group B is close, and each round could impact the standings. Lanús aims to solidify its position among the top teams, while Platense is under pressure to improve its goal difference, which currently keeps them out of the qualifying zone.
