Velez Sarsfield - Atl. Tucuman Prediction, Picks and Tips
Both are candidates to fight until the end for the last place for the next Libertadores. Not winning would leave Vélez Sarsfield out of the race; now he is 5 points from fourth place when there are only 4 dates left to play. Those of Liniers come from bad results, first the fall in house before the almost descended Tigre (1-2) and last Monday the tie in his visit to the Argentinean team Juniors (0-0). Negative balance for them playing at home this year: two losses and one equality.
The team lacks referents in attack and that makes it impossible to stay afloat. Meanwhile, Atlético Tucumán lost a key match last week and with it the fourth place he had when falling to River Plate, direct rival for the quota to the international tournament. The Tucuman are preceded by good results away from home: they won in their recent visit to Boca Juniors and then on Banfield court, 1-2 in both cases. But of 8 dates in the year they only won 3.
They have not faced each other since 2017. That year they clashed three times, all with less than 2.5 goals. No forward of Vélez Sarsfield has more than 3 goals. Their scorers are two flyers with 5 goals each. Atlético Tucumán has 7 consecutive games with less than 3.5 goals.
