Atletico Tucuman vs Boca

Atletico Tucuman played far below expectations in the Copa Liga Profesional, accumulating only ten points in 14 matches following their 4-0 away defeat to Huracan in their last match. As a result, they are now threatened by relegation, leading Tigre by just five points: in fact, El Decano secured a single victory across their last 15 league games, drawing seven and losing seven in that time. Atletico beat Gimnasia LP 3-2 in their last home encounter to stop a eight-match winless streak of five stalemates and three losses at Estadio Jose Fierro.

Boca Juniors fans will have felt heartbroken after their loss on penalties to Estudiantes following a 1-1 stalemate in the Copa Liga Profesional semi-finals in Cordoba. However, Diego Martinez’s lost only one of their last seven in league action (winning five and drawing one in regular time): having accumulated 25 points in the group stage, El Xeneiza remain just one point behind the last Copa Libertadores spot in the aggregate table. On a sorry note, Boca won just one of their last five as the visiting side in domestic action, along with one stalemate and three defeats. On Wednesday, Boca won 2-1 at Paraguay against Sportivo Trinidense in a Copa Sudamericana group match.

Important missings in defense for Boca with Marcos Rojo injured and Cristian Lema suspended that could open the door for Atletico to score here as they are desperate for points due to their position in the aggregate table. Boca is expected to use most starters here including legendary striker Edinson Cavani who scored the last minute winning goal at Paraguay on Wednesday, so I’ll go for the OVER here.
