Atletico Tucuman - Need to Pull Out Reasonable Individual Performances (LLDDL)

Going in the matchup, Atletico Tucuman is coming off a defeat against Boca juniors (1-0). Talking about the positives from the last game, De La Fuente, Yonathan Cabral, and Francisco Di Franco were able to perform well. Tucuman is likely to carry on with the same 4-4-2 formation and at the moment no such changes have been reported. For the upcoming matchup, Tucuman will be little hesitant, as they have managed to win just 2 or the last 9 matches played against Talleres. However, Tucuman leads the goal scoring average against Talleres, which is around 1.56 goals per match. As teams have started a fresh season this year, it will be an interesting matchup.

Tomás Marchiori; Hernán de la Fuente, Bruno Bianchi, Yonathan Cabral and Matías Orihuela; Renzo Tesuri, Guillermo Acosta, Francisco Di Franco and Joaquín Pereyra; Marcelo Estigarribia and Mateo Coronel.

Talleres Cordoba - Will Miss Out Angelo Martino (LLWWD)

Going in the matchup, Talleres will be missing Angelo Martino due to the red card suspension in the previous game. Talleres lost to Independiente due to the own goal strike in the 52nd minute of play. Apart from that Talleres maintained a 61% possession, with an accurate passing percentage of 79%. Moving forward, Talleres will be feeling the heat, as Tucuman is much stronger on paper and has a decent track record. With a goal scoring average of just 1.13 goals, Talleres is likely to struggle at large. With the likes of Juan Rodriguez, Rodrigo Garo, and Michael Santos in the side, Tallers might be able to just counter the attack from Tucuman.

Expected Opening Lineup for Tallers Cordoba

Guido Herrera; Gastón Benavídez, Juan Carlos Portillo, Juan Gabriel Rodríguez and Franco Saavedra; Rodrigo Villagra, Alan Franco; Valentín Depietri, Rodrigo Garro and Francisco Pizzini; and Diego Valoyes.
