Gimnasia vs Atletico Tucuman
Gimnasia LP continue to struggle with inconsistency. Last weekend, the team put in a very poor performance and lost 1-0 away to San Martín SJ, their second consecutive league defeat. El Lobo remain on seven points in the Torneo Clausura and are now just five points above the relegation zone in the aggregate table. In addition, Gimnasia have picked up only three points from three home matches, with one win and two losses so far. Jan Hurtado is ready to return after overcoming his muscle problem. Atlético Tucumán returned to winning ways at a crucial time last week, defeating Talleres 3-0 at home in a direct relegation battle. With that result, they opened up a seven-point gap over their rival in the aggregate table and reached nine points in the Torneo Clausura, strengthening their place in the playoff zone. El Decano have lost just once in six matches in this tournament, with two wins and three draws. On the downside, Atlético have collected only two points from their last 27 available on the road. Clever Ferreira saw a red card against Talleres and is suspended for Monday. Atletico comes from scoring 7 goals in the last 3 games as they’ve been looking solid in attack and will visit Gimnasia who has scored in the last 4 games, and will have Hurtado back in attack, so I’ll take the OVER here as I expect this trend to continue.
