Talleres vs Atletico Tucuman
Talleres returned to winning ways last Sunday, when they secured an important 1-0 away success at newcomers Deportivo Riestra, with Ramon Sosa netting a penalty in the first half. La T put an end to their three-match winless streak of two stalemates and one defeat to accumulate 15 points in the Copa Liga Profesional, still two points behind the last playoff berth in group A. At home, Walter Ribonetto’s men remain unbeaten in the last three, having won two and drawn one in that spell.
Atletico Tucuman coach Facundo Sava lived a rough debut at the club. Last Wednesday, the team had a terrible second half and suffered an unexpected 3-0 home defeat to Banfield. As a result, El Decano are now the only team who haven’t yet claimed any victories in the Copa Liga Profesional (nor scored in their last nine matches) and also dropped down to the bottom spot in the aggregate table (alongside Deportivo Riestra and Tigre) on five points. In fact, the side are winless in the last ten in league action, drawing five and losing five. On away turf, Atletico managed a single point from 12 available in this competition.
Talleres can climb into the playoffs zone with a win, and better spot for them to get the 3 points they need than playing at home against the only winless team in the league, Atletico Tucuman, that has only 1 goal scored in 9 matches so far this season.
