Tight game expected with two teams who excel at different ends
Our Deportivo Riestra vs Atletico Lanus prediction highlights the impressive form of Deportivo Riestra in recent months, winning two, drawing two and losing just one of their last five matches in all competitions. Gustavo Benitez, who has been at the helm since February 2025, has implemented a gameplan that is compact and organized, with the hosts playing with grit and being solid at the back.
A perfect example of this was their penalty shootout victory over Deportivo Armenio in the previous round and the 3-0 victory over Godoy Cruz in their most recent home game. Their compactness and ability to frustrate opponents, while also being a threat on the counter and from set pieces has seen them earn a good home record in the short term.
According to this Deportivo Riestra vs Atletico Lanus preview, Atletico Lanus have more overall form than Deportivo Riestra, having won three, drawn one and lost once of their previous five in all competitions, but they are a much different side to their opponents on Monday. Mauricio Pellegrino’s men have been under his stewardship since January 2025 and he has brought tactical discipline and a clear identity to the club.
Lanus are a possession-based side who like to play with the ball, creating fluid, technical attacks where they look to break teams down in a methodical manner. The key to that has been to get the best out of their number 10, Ramiro Carrera, who has scored two of Lanus’ five goals in their past five games and is their most clinical finisher in the front line.

This Deportivo Riestra vs Atletico Lanus betting tips review favours the tie as the game is more likely to be a tactical chess match, with the grit of Riestra stifling the waves of Lanus possession.
