Atletico Tucuman vs Talleres
Atletico Tucuman’s four-game unbeaten run in league action (two victories and two draws) came to an end last weekend, when the side succumbed to a 3-1 away defeat at Boca Juniors. That means they remain on 12 points in group B and have reduced their chances of advancing to the playoffs: El Decano are trailing fourth-placed Talleres by four.
Talleres are now on five league games without defeat (having won three and drawn two) following their 3-0 home success over Union Santa Fe thanks to goals from Franco Fragapane, Nahuel Tenaglia and Guilherme Parede. Therefore, the team made it 16 points, climbing to one of the playoff places in group B. On away turf, Alexander Medina’s men took five points from 12 available in the Copa Liga Profesional, having registered one victory, two draws and one defeat.
9 of the last Atletico games had at least 3 goals (and the other 3 had 2) and I expect this to continue as they face this Talleres that needs to win to continue in the playoffs race.Â
