Atletico Nacional vs Atletico Tucuman

Atletico Nacional produced a worrying performance on their visit to Atletico Tucuman three weeks ago and ended up losing 2-0. Therefore, Libertadores’ champions in 2016 will have to take a three-goal lead to reach the quarter-finals without penalties. However, they have been unbeaten in all competitions since that defeat, with four wins and one draw. On Friday, Nacional managed a 3-2 home victory over Alianza Petrolera and reached 11 points in the fourth spot of the league table, seven behind perfect leaders La Equidad. El Verdolaga also is on four home matches with no loss, having won two of them via one-goal margins.

Meanwhile, Atletico Tucuman took a big step towards the Copa Libertadores’ quarterfinals in their second participation in this competition’s history. Leandro Diaz and Guillermo Acosta found the back of the net to give their team a highly-celebrated 2-0 home win. On Friday, Atletico beat Colon 2-1 at their own stadium to reach five points in three weeks of league action while the side also opened a three point-gap over the bottom four in the relegation table. Atletico is on ten competitive games unbeaten, having won five of them. On the other hand, El Decano is winless in the last four on the road, with three draws and one defeat.

Despite being a bit irregular lately, Nacional is clearly the better team here and definitely the most experienced one since they won this competition in 2016. Atletico Tucuman is not a good team on the road as their results show and it will be tough for them not to lose this game.
