Atletico Tucuman vs Rosario Central
Atletico Tucuman, one of the best teams in this competition, showed a terrible version last Monday, when they lost away at Racing Club 2-0 in a six-pointer regarding the fight for the title. Therefore, the team were displaced from the top of the league table and are now on 44 points, trailing leaders Boca Juniors by four points after losing two of their last three games in the Liga Profesional (only beating Platense in that time). El Decano are also occupying the last Copa Sudamericana berth in the aggregate rankings at the moment. Atletico Tucuman have been unbeaten in their last 13 home matches, with nine victories and four draws in that time.
Rosario Central are still finding trouble to claim victories in the league. Last Monday, the team created several goalscoring chances but couldn’t convert any of those and registered a scoreless home draw against Defensa y Justicia. That result extended their winless streak to seven league games (five stalemates and two defeats). El Canalla continue producing a poor campaign, having accumulated 27 points in 24 games so far. On away turf, Central haven’t claimed any victories across their last six games, taking only three points from 18 available in that span.
Must win game for Atletico if they want to stay in the championship race, and playing against this poor Rosario Cental that will miss at least 4 starters due to suspensions and injuries looks like a good opportunity for them.
