Although Date 7 of the League Cup started yesterday, many of the most attractive classics will begin to be played this Saturday. The first match of the day will be the Southern Classic, a confrontation that will face Lanús and Banfield face to face. They will face each other at 14, at the Ciudad de Lanús Néstor Díaz Pérez stadium. The referee will be Fernando Echenique and will be televised by TNT Sports.

El Granate, despite the return of Jorge Almirón and Diego Valeri, does not find his way in the tournament and wanders through the bottom of Zone B with only 6 points (one win, three draws and two losses). Faced with this scenario, the locals need a victory to settle in and dream of entering the Final Phase (the first four advance).

As for the team that comes from equalizing against Colón in Fortaleza, the technical director surprised with the decision to leave José Sand again on the bench of substitutes. Despite being the top scorer of the institution, Jorge Almirón will only bet on the youth José López as the only area reference. The only variant will be the return of Ángel González instead of the injured Lautaro Acosta.

El Taladora, after an interesting start, which also included the passage to the next round of the Argentine Cup after eliminating Dock Sud, suffered two consecutive defeats: Defensa y Justicia and Unión de Santa Fe.

Despite the fall against Tatengue, in the head of Diego Davobe (born from the inferior ones del Garnet) haunts the idea of making only one change in an obligatory way. Ian Escobar will take the place of left-back instead of the injured Franco Quinteros. In this way, Jesus Dátolo and Dario Cvitanich must await their opportunity.

It is worth noting that Lanús has not won in the Southern Classic since 2016, just when Jorge Almirón was sitting on the bench of substitutes. On that occasion he won as a local 4 to 2, with three goals from the eternal Pepe Sand. The Drill, on the other hand, has an undefeated five matches (two wins and three draws).

It is worth noting that the green-and-white cast leads the record (between amateurism and professionalism) by 10 matches. He won 38 times, fell 28 times and equalized 29 times.
