Atletico Tucuman vs Talleres
Atletico Tucuman are showing improvements under recently-appointed coach Lucas Pusineri. Last time out, the team managed a valuable point on their visit to River Plate following a hard-fought 1-1 away draw. However, the team can’t break their winless streak: they haven’t claimed any victories in the last eight in league action, drawing three and losing five. As a result, they are bottom in group A with only seven points. El Decano stay out of the relegation spots so far, holding a two-point gap over Godoy Cruz in the respective table.
Talleres showed another poor performance last Saturday and returned to losing ways following a 3-1 away defeat at Banfield. It was their fourth loss across the last five matches in the Copa Liga Profesional, with a single win in that time. As a result, the team remain on eight points in group A, a poor campaign for them. Furthermore, Talleres are yet to win on the road in league action, having registered a single draw and five defeats this term. On Tuesday 26, the team won 1-0 at home over Sporting Cristal from Peru in a Copa Libertadores group game.
Talleres have a key game in Copa Libertadores next Wednesday so I expect them to rest regulars here, and this Atletico Tucuman that has shown improvements should be able to take it.
