Atlético Tucuman Preview
The draw against Rosario Central was extremely costly for Atlético Tucumán, who is now three points behind Boca Juniors, the current leader of the league. Boca Juniors still have to play its pending game against Gimnasia. For this reason, Atlético Tucumán’s chances of winning its first league title are not high.
The problem is that Atlético Tucumán dropped their level at the worst moment, as three of their four league defeats came in their last ten games. In addition to this, their defense was one of the best of the campaña, but allowed goals in nine of those ten games, which also explains why they are in their current situation.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Carlos Lampe; Martín Garay, Bruno Bianchi, Manuel Capasso, Matías Orihuela; Francisco Di Franco, Guillermo Acosta, Ramiro Carrera, Joaquín Pereira; Augusto Lotti, Cristian Menéndez.
Union Santa Fe Preview
Sitting in the middle of the standings for most of the season, Union de Santa Fe has not had much to play throughout this season. The team from Santa Fe will come into this match after losing by a score of 1-0 against Defensa y Justicia the previous matchday, breaking their two-game unbeaten streak.
Their offense has not been the best in this second half of the season, as the Tatengue have not scored more than one goal in any of their last 13 games. For this reason, staying focused on defense will be vital if they want to get a positive result.
Absences: No report
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Santiago Mele; Federico Vera, Franco Calderón, Facundo Agüero, Lucas Esquivel; Juan Carlos Portillo, Enzo Roldán; Imanol Machuca, Mauro Luna Diale, Kevin Zenón; Junior Marabel.
JefeBet Prediction
Atlético Tucumán will go in search of a victory against a rival that has always made things difficult for them since it has lost in its last two matches against Unión de Santa Fe and failed to score on both occasions.
However, it seems complicated that this will happen again as Union de Santa Fe has not won in its last nine away games, but it is worth mentioning that it has allowed more than one goal in only one of the six most recent games in that period.
Despite its current poor form, playing at home could be an advantage for Tucumán, which remains the only team that has not lost as locals this league season. Furthermore, Atlético is also one of the teams that allows the fewest goals when playing at home (7).
In addition, the last meeting between the two sides at the Monumental José Fierro ended in a win for the home team, and we believe this could be the case again.
Prediction: Atlético Tucumán Moneyline (TUC 2 – UNI 0)
