Atletico Tucuman vs Banfield
Atletico Tucuman put up a very good fight on their visit to Boca Juniors last time out, but they ended up losing 2-1 away even having scored first. That defeat put an end to their three-match unbeaten streak of two wins and one draw. Lucas Pusineri’s men have been unbeaten in their last nine matches at Estadio Jose Fierro, winning seven and drawing two. The man in charge can pick from all his regulars to host Banfield on Monday.
Banfield returned to losing ways in league action last time out, when they succumbed to a 2-1 home defeat to Defensa y Justicia following a poor performance. That result means El Taladro secured only one victory across their last ten matches in the Liga Profesional, along with four draws and five defeats. Claudio Vivas’ men remain on 18 points after 16 rounds, which keeps them out of the continental spots in the aggregate table.
Atletico Tucuman wants to retake the 1st place of the league that they lost to Gimnasia who won on Saturday, and I think this is a good spot for them to recover from last week’s defeat against a poor rival.
