Huracan vs Atletico Tucuman
Huracan are finding trouble to become regular in their performances. Last Monday, the team showed a worrying version and ended up drawing 0-0 away at newcomers Deportivo Riestra, a result that means El Globo accumulated 13 points in as many Copa Liga Profesional rounds. In fact, they claimed a single victory across the last five matches in this competition, along with two stalemates and two defeats. However, Huracan are unbeaten in the last five at home, winning two and drawing three in that time.
Atletico Tucuman finally secured their first Copa Liga Profesional victory in 2024, beating Gimnasia LP 3-2 at home in a thrilling match last Sunday. The team made it ten points in this competition so far, opening a five-point gap over the relegation spot in the aggregate table, occupied by Tigre. In fact, El Decano put an end to a 13-game winless streak of seven stalemates and six defeats in league action.
Atletico are finally showing some signs of life since the coach change and after a terrible semester: they won 2 of the last 3, scoring 10 goals in their last 4 (including a Copa Argentina win), exactly the opposite of Huracan who has won only 1 of the last 6 and scored only 2 goals in that period. Nothing to play for either of them in this last round, but Atletico are in better form and should at least avoid a defeat to finish the tournament.
