Atletico Tucuman (Argentina) vs Gremio (Brazil)
Atletico Tucuman continues to live a dream in their second Copa Libertadores’ campaign in history. The team lost to Atletico Nacional 1-0 away in Colombia three weeks ago, but their 2-0 home win in the first leg allowed El Decano to reach the quarter-finals. Last Friday, Atletico beat Tigre 3-0 to make it 11 points in five weeks of league action (three wins, two draws), sitting in second spot just two points behind leaders Racing Club. Atletico is on ten home matches unbeaten in all competitions, having won five of them. Their last loss at Jose Fierro Stadium was on March, 2-0 to Libertad from Paraguay.
Defending champions Gremio managed a dramatic victory on penalties over Estudiantes at home, having won 2-1 in regular time with Alisson netting the winner in stoppage time. In the Brazilian league table, they are fifth after beating Parana 2-0 at home last Saturday, even though coach Renato Gaucho fielded a completely alternative XI. Gremio has 44 points in 25 rounds, six behind leaders Sao Paulo. They claimed three wins and one draw in the last five competitive games, just losing to Internacional. However, O Tricolor managed a single victory in their last nine away games (at Corinthians 1-0 last month), having lost five of them.
Atletico Tucuman is living an excellent run, especially at home where 3 out of 4 games in this competition had at least 2 goals, giving good value on the very low totals line.
