Deportes Tolima was close to earning a point on their visit to Argentinos Juniors last Thursday, but they conceded in stoppage time and ended up losing 1-0, which means they need to win at home. The team’s alternative XI drew 1-1 at home against Junior on Sunday: both sides are sharing the top of the Group A table and will fight for a ticket to the Torneo Apertura’s final in the remaining two rounds. Tolima is on three winless matches in all competitions, drawing two and losing the other. At home, they haven’t won any of the last seven, with six stalemates and one defeat.
Argentinos Juniors’ centre back Carlos Quintana found the back of the net in the 94th minute and the team claimed a 1-0 home win over Deportes Tolima, which means they would advance to the Copa Sudamericana’s round-of-16 by avoiding the defeat in Ibague. On Sunday, El Bicho lost 1-0 away at Boca Juniors and was knocked out of the Superliga Cup, having drawn 0-0 in the first leg at home. That defeat stopped their four-game unbeaten streak of two victories and two draws in all competitions. Argentinos claimed a single win in their last six away games, drawing two and losing three.
The OVER odds are too high considering the hosts are forced to win and even though Argentinos can be an underish team, I can see them getting chances on counter attacks.
