Atletico Tucuman – Racing

Atletico Tucuman returned to their usual standards last Sunday, when they showed a poor version and succumbed to a 4-0 away defeat at Newell’s Old Boys. Therefore, Juan Manuel Azconzabal’s men remain on four points after the first five matches in this competition. In fact, El Decano claimed only one success in their last 14 games in league action, having drawn four and lost nine in the process, which places them in the 21st place of the relegation table. On a positive note, Atletico took four points from six on offer at their own stadium in the Copa Liga Profesional, drawing to Platense and beating Patronato.

Gabriel Hauche’s goal in the first half allowed Racing Club to celebrate an important 1-0 home success over Talleres last time out. Thanks to that victory, La Academia made it nine points and approached the playoff spots in group A, trailing Sarmiento (who occupy the last qualifying berth) by one. In fact, Fernando Gago’s men are on six league matches without defeat, winning three and drawing three in the process. On a sorry note, Racing haven’t claimed any wins in their last four on away turf (two stalemates and two losses).

I like the chance of seeing goals here as neither is reliable defensively, especially the hosts who conceded 4 last week.
