Atlético Tucumán and Barracas Central have met for years, and the home side has the better record at their own ground, both the 4-0 win and the narrow 1-0 win. But this time both teams are in a spell where the attack is not producing many goals. Atlético Tucumán just finished 0-1 in their latest league match, while Barracas Central also just lost 0-1. The hosts have scored only 7 goals in 10 matches and have not beaten anyone in 3 straight games, while the visitors have not won any of their last 5, drawing 3 and losing 2. Their attack is even blunter, with only 5 goals scored in 10 matches. Both teams therefore come in in a similar state: the defence holds up well enough, but finishing is difficult. If either side gets the first goal, the game should change immediately, because neither is a team that opens up and trades punches anyway. The side that concedes first will have to push up, and that is when the game will really open up. But if the first goal does not come, the match is likely to end with a low score.
