Atletico Tucuman extended their unbeaten run to ten league matches (winning five and drawing five) after a 1-1 away draw at Racing Club. Following their fourth consecutive stalemate, El Decano is now on 26 points and remain out of the Copa Sudamericana spots. Atletico is without defeat in the last four home matches, with two victories and two draws since losing to Independiente 1-0.
Defensa y Justicia played enjoyable football under interim boss Pablo De Muner to beat Talleres 4-1 at home. As a result, the team are now on four league matches unbeaten, with three wins and one draw. El Halcon accumulates 24 points, only two behind the last Copa Sudamericana spot. Defensa was decent on away turf so far, collecting 13 points from 24 on offer. Defensa y Justicia will oversee the debut of coach Hernan Crespo after Mariano Soso’s resignation.
Defensa comes from a perfect performance in their 4-1 vs Talleres, Atletico will have a couple of missings in defense and they scored at least one goal in their last 9 games, so I definitely have to expect a couple in this match.
