Odds: Lanus (19/20) Draw (21/10) Arsenal (10/3) Gamingtips Prediction – Lanus 0:0 Arsenal
This game sees the best attacking side take on the best defensive side. Lanus have scored 23 goals in their opening 14 games (best goals scored record). Arsenal have conceded just 9 goals in their opening 14 games (best defensive record). This game will ultimately come down to whether or not Lanus can break down a defense that concedes less than 1 goal per game or whether Arsenal can keep yet another clean sheet and score on the counterattack.
