Lucas Acosta was dropped as goalkeeper last time out in a shock decision so expect Lautaro Morales to retain his place between the sticks. Leonel Di Placido returned from injury as an unused substitute and will retain his place on the bench here. Joel Sonora returned from injury as an unused substitute last time out and will more than likely remain on the bench here. A fully fit squad to choose from has seen improvements in performance so line up changes will be minimal.
Three defeats in their last four games has given Lanus' title challenge a major hit and if they want to keep tabs on Talleres and River Plate they have to win this one. Goals have dried up for 41-year-old Jose Sand up top in recent times, but he remains the hosts' top scorer with 10 goals. Young prospect Jose Lopez quickly catching up with eight for himself so far. Just one victory in 12 games is a poor showing from Banfield, but in their last three games performances have improved and they were unfortunate not to take something from River Plate last time out. Juan Cruz's return to the starting line up has coincided with the improvement from Banfield. Five goals in eight starts is a clear indication of that. 2:1
