Atletico Tucuman – Banfield

Atletico Tucuman showed a worthy version under interim coach Diego Barrado last Saturday, but they were ineffective up front and ended up drawing 0-0 against Velez Sarsfield at home. As a result, El Decano remain without a win in the Copa Liga Profesional, accumulating just five points (two above the bottom spot in the aggregate table, occupied by Sarmiento). In fact, they are winless in the last nine league matches (five stalemates and four defeats). At home, Atletico haven’t won any of the last six, drawing four and losing two in that spell. Coach Facundo Sava will make his debut on Wednesday. Joaquin Pereyra returns as his transfer got cancelled.

Banfield played their best match in 2024 last Friday and secured a necessary 2-0 home success over newcomers Deportivo Riestra thanks to goals from Bruno Sepulveda and Milton Gimenez. El Taladro managed their first victory in the Copa Liga Profesional, stopping a eight-game winless streak of five draws and three losses in league action to make it seven points in this competition. On away turf, Banfield are without a win in the last six, having drawn five and lost one.

Atletico are now the only winless team in the league but this should end sooner than later as this is a very balanced league and they are not as bad as their numbers show. Coach Facundo Sava will make his debut and playmaker Joaquin Pereyra will finally play after his transfer to Corinthians got cancelled, so they are on a good spot to finally grab their first win of the season against this irregular Banfield.
