NextGOAL tip: Argentinos Juniors (level) · 4 stars
Atlético Tucumán and Argentinos Juniors meet in clearly different states. The hosts have just drawn 1-1 at home in the cup and are still without a win in consecutive matches, while the visitors have won two in a row and are unbeaten in 4 straight league games. The two teams therefore walk onto the pitch in very different moods. Atlético Tucumán have scored 13 and conceded 13 in 14 matches this season, but at home they average under one goal per game and have collected only 0.93 points per game from 15 matches, so their attack has been a problem all season. Argentinos Juniors are different: 8 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses, 18 scored, 11 conceded, and away from home they collect 1.33 points per game from 15 matches. Although their scoring average is similar to the hosts', a defense that has conceded only 11 goals all season means they rarely lose. The game is likely to see the visitors dominate possession and gradually prise the game open, while the hosts sit deep and wait to counter. If Atlético Tucumán score first, the game will open up and Argentinos Juniors will have to push higher, which could give the hosts more room to counter. But if the visitors score first, they will drop back, control the tempo and close the game out more comfortably.
