Lanus host Cienciano in the Copa Sudamericana group stage, with both clubs looking to strengthen their positions in what remains a competitive pool.
Mauricio Pellegrino's Lanus side have endured a rough stretch of results, losing four of their last five matches across multiple competitions. Exits from the Copa Libertadores and a domestic loss to Argentinos Juniors have heaped pressure on the Argentine side heading into this fixture.
Cienciano arrive from Peru under Horacio Melgarejo and sit second in Group B. Their recent form is mixed — a win over Sporting Cristal sandwiched between defeats and draws — but their continental standing gives them reason for confidence.
The Peruvian club's most recent outing was a 3-1 league defeat to FBC Melgar, which will have Melgarejo looking for a sharper response on the continental stage.
For Lanus, this is a chance to arrest a damaging run and keep their Sudamericana campaign alive. Three consecutive losses, including a 4-0 hammering by Always Ready in the Libertadores, make this a must-perform occasion.
Here is everything you need to know about where to watch Lanus vs Cienciano, including TV channel and live stream options.
