Independiente vs San Martin de Tucuman

Independiente made it three victories in their last four league matches (losing to Atletico Tucuman in the process) last Sunday when they beat Argentinos Juniors 2-0 away thanks to a brace from the league top scorer Emmanuel Gigliotti. As a result, El Rojo has climbed into the tenth spot on 16 points. Ariel Holan’s men claimed seven points from the last nine available at home since losing to Defensa y Justicia 1-0.

San Martin Tucuman is on three matches without a defeat (two wins, one draw) following a 2-0 home victory over San Martin SJ, with Alberto Costa and Ariel Garcia scoring. That means El Ciruja reached 11 points in the Superliga and they need to beat Independiente on Wednesday to leave the relegation zone. Walter Coyette’s men are yet to win on away turf, having managed only one point from 12 in an offer.

This is a postponed game from round 1 of the tournament and one that both need to win: Independiente to get closer to the top and San Martin to leave the relegation zone. Both arrive in good form, with Independiente’s striker Emanuel Gigliotti as the league’s top scorer with 11 goals in 10 games and I expect an open match with both teams going forward.
