In this week 11 match on Apr 21st, Argentinos Juniors will travel to San Miguel de Tucumán to battle Atlético Tucumán in a clash of these two mismatched Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 13th placed Atlético Tucumán, recorded a 1-1 draw against Defensa y Justicia. Augusto Lotti struck first for Atlético Tucumán in the 16th minute, then Miguel Merentiel tied it up for Defensa y Justicia in the 58th minute earning Defensa y Justicia a comeback draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while 5th placed Argentinos Juniors is fresh off their 2-1 win against Talleres Córdoba. Federico Girotti struck first for Talleres Córdoba in the 7th minute, then Ángelo Martino tied it up for Argentinos Juniors on an own goal in the 20th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 53rd minute on a goal by Gabriel Ávalos. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Argentinos Juniors should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Atlético Tucumán won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Argentinos Juniors’s top weapon lately has been Gabriel Ávalos, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches. Ramiro Angel Carrera and Marcelo Ortíz are the top scorers for Atlético Tucumán in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
