Atletico Tucuman – Central Cordoba
Atlético Tucumán started the new semester with great joy, clinching a last-gasp 2-1 home win over San Martín SJ thanks to a 95th-minute goal by Nicolás Lamendola. The result gave them their first three points in the Torneo Clausura and marked their third consecutive league victory—and their fourth straight home win—allowing them to extend their cushion over the relegation zone to six points. Gianluca Ferrari is back from suspension and available for the next match. On the other hand, Keving Lopez succumbed to a muscle problem and will miss out.
CA Central Córdoba kicked off the second half of the season with a valuable scoreless draw away to Aldosivi, earning their first point of the Torneo Clausura. The result also helped them widen the gap over the relegation zone to six points. However, Central are winless in their last seven league matches (two draws and five losses), including four straight without a win on the road, where they’ve collected just one point from a possible 12 in that span. They drew 0-0 as hosts against Uruguay’s Cerro Largo FC on Tuesday, July 15, in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana playoffs.
Rough start for Central Cordoba with two scoreless draw against weak rivals: Aldosivi and at home against Cerro from Uruguay in the Copa Sudamericana playoffs. They play the 2nd leg next week and I expect them to be more focused on that game than in this one, so they might rotate and rest some starters, so I like these odds on Atletico Tucuman to get another win at home.
