Atletico Tucuman lost 3-2 at Talleres last weekend, but it could have been worse: the team managed to cut the hosts’ lead even playing with nine men and now they need a 1-0 home win to advance in the competition. It was their second consecutive defeat and the fourth in the last six competitive games. El Decano has beaten Aldosivi 1-0 in their last home game to stop a three-game winless run at their own stadium, with two draws and one loss. Atletico Tucuman centre back Bruno Bianchi was given a red card at Talleres last time out and is suspended
With striker Dayro Moreno netting a brace, Talleres managed a hard-fought 3-2 home victory over Atletico Tucuman and will have to avoid the defeat here to reach the Superliga Cup quarter-finals. That was the side’s second victory in a row after their three consecutive defeats. However, the team lost three of their last four away games, only beating Newell’s Old Boys in the process.
The 1st leg had 5 goals and I can see another open game here, with Atletico Tucuman forced to go for the win but missing Bianchi, their best defender.
