Platense vs Atletico Tucuman
Platense showed a great display of effort on their visit to Defensa y Justicia last Saturday, but they ended up losing 2-1. That defeat put an end to their six-match unbeaten streak of two victories and four draws in league action and also dropped them down to the 21st place in the relegation table. However, El Calamar are producing a decent campaign in the Liga Profesional, having earned 20 points in 18 games. However, the team are on five matches without a win at their own stadium, with four draws and one defeat since beating Sarandi Arsenal 2-1 at home in round six.
Atletico Tucuman registered a disappointing 2-2 home draw against Patronato in a thrilling game last Monday. As a result, coach Pablo Guinazu made it back to back stalemates in his first two matches at the club and El Decano are now four points below the last Copa Sudamericana berth in the aggregate table, having won only one of their last nine league matches (four draws and four defeats) and accumulating 21 points in this tournament.
Both average more than 1 goal conceded and scored per game, and I like the chances of having an open game here especially with Atletico missing an important defender like Santiago Vergini.
