Atletico Tucuman vs Velez Sarsfield
Atletico Tucuman claimed an important 2-1 away success at Godoy Cruz last Wednesday thanks to goals from Ramiro Carrera and Guillermo Acosta. Therefore, Omar De Felippe’s men made it six points in this league tournament and four victories in their last five matches in this competition, losing only once in the process. That win also allowed them to approach the Copa Sudamericana places, accumulating 24 points in the aggregate table. At home, El Decano won four and drew two of the last seven, only losing to Talleres in the process.
Velez Sarsfield (who are leaders in the aggregate table thanks to their campaign in the Copa Liga Profesional) are yet to score in the second league tournament of the year following their 0-0 home draw against Defensa y Justicia last Wednesday. Therefore, they collected only two points so far. In fact, El Fortin drew three and lost one of the last four in league action (in regular time).
Velez didn’t even score a goal yet in this competition after 3 rounds, so I can’t see them as favorites away and I think the hosts should not lose here.
