Boca vs Atletico Tucuman
Last Sunday, Boca Juniors’ striker Luis Vazquez netted a massive goal in the 92nd minute to give Boca Juniors a lucky 1-0 away success at Defensa y Justicia despite showing a poor version. The defending champions made it four league games unbeaten (two victories and two draws) to accumulate 23 points in the Liga Profesional, trailing leaders Atletico Tucuman by nine so far. At home, Boca have been confident lately, grabbing ten points from the last 12 on offer in league action.
Atletico Tucuman don’t give up on their fight. Last time out, the team played one of their best matches in this competition to thrash Barracas Central 4-0 at home. Lucas Pusineri’s men remain as league leaders on 32 points, opening a three-point gap over second-placed Gimnasia LP despite having started the Liga Profesional with the goal of avoiding relegation. El Decano are on three league matches unbeaten, having won two and drawn one in that span.
Boca keep struggling, Atletico are in their best form in years leading the league comfortably, so I have to go with the visitors not to lose here.
