Argentinos Jrs vs Atletico Tucuman
Argentinos Juniors showed interesting skills last time out, when they were unlucky to register a scoreless away stalemate at Independiente after having two goals disallowed. El Bicho continue to produce an irregular campaign in the Liga Profesional, accumulating 18 points after winning only one of their last seven matches in this competition (along with three draws and three losses). However, that’s still enough to occupy one of the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table. At home, Argentinos are on four matches unbeaten, winning two and drawing two.
In the context of a remarkable campaign, Atletico Tucuman are now going through a little slump. Last time out, the team succumbed to a surprising 4-2 home defeat to Belgrano. That result represented their second consecutive defeat in league action and the third across their last four matches in this competition, along with a single victory. El Decano remain on 25 points in the Liga Profesional, which is not enough to fight for a continental ticket in the aggregate table. In fact, Atletico also are on two consecutive defeats as the visiting side, having lost to Rosario Central and River Plate.
After a good run, Atletico Tucuman lost two in a row conceding 8 goals but they still have a good scoring run with at least one goal in 13 of their last 14 matches so I’ll go for the OVER here.
