In the early hours of Wednesday, Atletico Tucuman and Godoy Cruz clash at the Estadio Monumental Presidente Jose Fierro as the home team looks for a rare win in the Argentinian Primera Division.
Atletico Tucuman form guideThe home team has experienced a disappointing league campaign so far, as they currently sit in 24th place in the table, having accrued just 18 points from their 19 league games this season.
A 2-1 defeat at Lanus in their last Primera Division outing means that Atletico Tucuman has won just once in their last six league matches while suffering three losses in their previous five games in the Argentinian top-flight.
Even home advantage has not helped Atletico Tucuman’s recent form, as they have won just once in their last six matches on home soil in the Argentinian top flight. However, they ended a five-game winless run on home soil by recording a 1-0 win over Arsenal in their last home match.
Godoy Cruz form guideThe visitors are in ninth place in the Primera Division standings after an inconsistent recent run of league form. However, a 2-1 home win over Independiente showed that they are hard to beat, as it was their only loss in ten league outings.
The result last time out was a rare high-scoring game for Godoy Cruz, as their previous six matches in the league had all produced under 2.5 goals.
Daniel Oldra’s team has endured a mixed recent away record in the Primera Division, as they have won just two of their previous nine league matches. On the flip side, a 2-0 defeat at Newell’s Old Boys last time out ended a four-game unbeaten run on their travels in the Primera Division.
What am I backing?Neither team has been particularly consistent of late in the Argentinian top flight. I think this game will be pretty close, so the bet I am backing is the draw.
