Lanus vs Puerto Cabello prediction 27.05.2025 | Copa Sudamericana

• Competition: Copa Sudamericana
• Date: Tuesday, 27th May 2025
• Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00:00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Ciudad de Lanús – Néstor Díaz Pérez (Lanús)

Lanus already secured first place in the group and a place in the Copa Sudamericana 1/8 final. However, Lanus wasn't that good this year in the Primera Division Apertura, so Mauricio Pellegrino's team lost in the 1/8 final. Lanus won three of the last four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Lanus won 2-0 at home in the cup against Velez Sarsfield. That match was played at a neutral venue in Guatemala. Lanus dominated as they had xG of 1.60, while their opponent had only 0.28, so it is no wonder that Pellegrino's team secured progress to the 1/8 final. 

Puerto Cabello can't progress to the Copa Sudamericana playoff phase as they collected only four points from the first five matches. Puerto Cabello are also far from the top teams in the Venezuelan national league and will not play in the Apertura final. Puerto Cabello are without a victory in the last four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they played 1-1 at home against Metropolitanos. The home side surely expected more, but they didn't show enough. 

Lanus vs Puerto Cabello pick: Under 2.5 goals

There were two or fewer goals in each of the last nine Lanus games. On the other hand, Puerto Cabello scored only two goals in the previous four matches. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming Copa Sudamericana tie.
