Leandro N. Alem face Lugano on Saturday, Aug 22 at 10:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Primera C, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Leandro N. Alem come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5). Lugano, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Leandro N. Alem here — they've won 3 of 4 previous meetings against Lugano, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Leandro N. Alem a slight edge, but Lugano are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
