San Lorenzo vs Atletico Tucuman
San Lorenzo couldn’t take advantage of playing against ten men since the 19th minute and ended up settling for a disappointing scoreless stalemate away at Independiente in a boring game. El Ciclon continue to produce an irregular campaign, accumulating seven points in eight Liga Profesional matches (one in hand). Having won only one of their last 11 league games (five draws and five losses), the team dropped down to the 24th spot of the aggregate table. At home, San Lorenzo remain without a win in their last five domestic matches, drawing three and losing two. On Tuesday 6, San Lorenzo lost 3-1 to Velez Sarsfield in the Copa Argentina round-of-16. Malcolm Braida and Eric Remedi will miss out due to different injuries.
Atletico Tucuman are going through their best moment of form in this season. Last Sunday, the team reversed the score to secure a massive 2-1 home success over Independiente Rivadavia with Gianluca Ferrari netting a brace. El Decano extended their unbeaten streak to seven league matches (three victories and four draws) to make it 16 points in the Liga Profesional table, just three behind leaders Huracan. In fact, Atletico won 2-0 over Barracas Central in their last away game after ten without a win on the road (drawing four and losing six).
Atletico Tucuman has scored at least once in each of their last 8 games, and 7 of them had 2 or more goals, and they will face this San Lorenzo that will have a weak defensive midfield without Eric Remedi but still has a decent offensive power having scored at least once in 6 of their last 7 matches, so I’ll go for the OVER here on this low totals line.
