Atletico Tucuman – San Lorenzo
Atlético Tucumán once again displayed their usual struggles away from home, suffering a clear 2-0 defeat in their visit to Instituto. It was their fourth loss in the last six league matches (with only two wins in that span). However, El Decano remain in the playoff zone, with 15 points after 12 rounds of the Torneo Clausura — the only objective still within reach this season. On the positive side, Atlético are unbeaten in their last nine home matches, winning seven and drawing two.
San Lorenzo suffered their first home defeat of the semester last week, putting in a poor performance in a 1-0 loss to newly promoted San Martín SJ. With just one win in their last six league matches, El Ciclón sit on 16 points in the Torneo Clausura and remain within the playoff zone, though they have dropped out of the Copa Sudamericana qualification spots in the aggregate table. In addition, San Lorenzo have earned only two points from their last 15 available away from home.
San Lorenzo has struggled in defense lately, conceding goals in 4 of their last 5 games including 7 goals in their last 4 playing away. Atletico Tucuman has been strong at home but I don’t trust them, so I’ll go with the OVER as neither can afford a defeat and we should see an open game.
BET: OVER 1.75 @ 1.95
