Atletico Tucuman remains occupying one of the Copa Libertadores spots following a 2-1 away win at Banfield last Monday, thanks to goals from Leandro Diaz and Gervasio Nunez. El Decano managed seven points from the last nine available to accumulate 39 points in fourth. Ricardo Zielinski’s men produced a remarkable home campaign this term following five victories, four draws and a single defeat.
River Plate is now three points behind the last Copa Libertadores spot spots following a convincing 4-2 home win over Newell’s Old Boys last weekend. That means they have now claimed five victories and two draws in the Superliga since their 3-1 home defeat to Patronato in late January. As a result, El Millonario accumulated 36 points in the league table, having grabbed eight from the last 12 available away from Estadio Monumental. On Wednesday, River won/drew/lost [score] at Peruvian side Alianza Lima in the Copa Libertadores.
Two of the best squads in the league will clash on Sunday. Atletico Tucuman is usually strong at home and the odds for them to get at least a point are pretty good against a River team that could be tired after playing midweek at Peru and with another midweek game in a few days.
