Without further ado, at JefeBet we tell you how both teams are preparing for this Monday’s duel for matchday 4 of the Professional League, as well as the predictions, odds and probable lineups for Atletico Tucuman vs Velez Sarsfield.

Betting on Atletico Tucuman
El Decano only has one point out of a possible nine, having lost to Boca Juniors away from home. Then, the team lost again at home to Talleres 0-2, and it drew last week against Platense 1-1 in Vicente López.
The only goal that was scored so far was made by Marcelo Estigarribia, and if there is something that worries Tucumán, it is the lack of efficiency in front of other team’s goal, given that in every game this team has had clear chances to score, it has failed to do so. Against Platense, for example, the team managed to reach Ignacio Arce’s goal six times, posing danger.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Tomás Marchiori; Hernán De La Fuente, Bruno Bianchi, Yonathan Cabral, Matías Orihuela; Adrián Sánchez, Guillermo Acosta, Joaquín Pereyra, Ramiro Ruíz Rodríguez; Mateo Coronal, Marcelo Estigarribia.
Betting on Velez Sarfield
The Liniers team got off to a great start in the Professional League, defeating Gimnasia 3-1 at home, but then the season faded. That win was followed by a defeat in Rosario against Newell’s, and last week a 0-0 draw at the José Amalfitani stadium against Independiente.
At the end of the match against El Rojo de Avellaneda there were whistles coming from the always impatient Velez fans. Although, it seems like coach, Alexander Medina, understands them: “We played a discreet match, we expected much more”, analyzed the Cacique after the draw against Independiente.
Like the team’s opponent on Monday, Velez struggles to carry the offensive weight, and Medina knows it. “We noticed it, and we looked for the entry of Santiago Castro and Abel Osorio to generate movements with ease, I saw them very participative,” he pondered.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Leonardo Burián; Tomás Guidara, Miguel Brizuela, Valentín Gómez, Francisco Ortega; Nicolás Garayalde, Juan Méndez, José Florentín; Walter Bou, Lucas Pratto, Lucas Janson.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of Atletico Tucuman vs Velez Sarsfield shows that they have met 12 times, of which the Tucumán team has won only one match, and El Fortín has won eight.
It will be a close match, without many goals, and whoever wins the midfield duel will surely take the three points. JefeBet believes it will be Atlético Tucumán who will win this match, but by the minimum difference.
Prediction: Atlético Tucumán wins 1-0.
