On Saturday Dec 11th, in week 25, Atlético Tucumán will host River Plate in a meeting of these two Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 25th placed Atlético Tucumán is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Colón. Gonzalo Piovi scored the first goal for Colón in the 15th minute, then Cristian Oscar Bernardi added another in the 28th minute In the end, Atlético Tucumán was frustrated by Colón’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Colón ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 1st placed River Plate, recorded a 2-3 loss against Defensa y Justicia. Joaquín Fernández scored the first goal for River Plate in the 10th minute, then Walter Bou tied it up for Defensa y Justicia in the 64th minute on a feed from Carlos Rotondi But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 87th minute on a goal by Franco Paredes. River Plate is on a hot streak lately, having won 7 of their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Alvarez has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the attacker has scored six goals for River Plate.
