Going into this matchup, Atl. Tucuman comes from another loss. Fair to say that Defensa y Justicia is one of the best teams so far in the league, yet it was a heavy loss (3-0) that may leave some marks.
After 2 straigth draws with just 1 goal conceded in each, Atl. Tucuman couldn't keep up with the Defensa y Justicia offense that could score 3 goals with just 5 shots on goal. This heavy loss threw Atl. Tucuman to the second worst defense of the league, with 8 goals conceded in just 5 matches, averaging 1.6 goals conceded per match.
Atl. Tucuman surprisingly had more ball possession than the opposition in this last game, averaging 53% throughout the entire game.

Atl. Tucuman is also one of the worst goal scoring teams, with just 2 goals in 5 matches, averaging just 0.4 goals scored per match.
Can Atl. Tucuman become more productive to grab some more points and leave the bottom of the table?
