Match begins: 21:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio La Ciudadela (30500 seats)

The San Martín Tucumán & Almagro managers Muner and Otero are both worrying about and looking forward to this highly important game in the top part of the Primera B Nacional league table.

Insights:
  • San Martín Tucumán have the most scored goals in the first half (7) in Primera B Nacional
  • Almagro have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won away.

Almagro have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Tucumán nor Almagro as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

San Martín Tucumán form and stats

Seven points from three Primera B Nacional home games is a great start for San Martín Tucumán, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estadio La Ciudadela. Hopes of three in a row are alive for San Martín Tucumán after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Tucumán's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Almagro (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Alvarado.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier San Martín Tucumán matches with similar probabilities have ended with six wins, one draw and zero defeats (from seven games).

The San Martín Tucumán fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches.

Almagro form and stats

Almagro are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera B Nacional, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

Almagro lost away at San Martín Tucumán (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Tristan Suarez.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Almagro playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and three home wins.

4 goals have been conceded by Almagro in these games.

Head 2 Head

The newest reported result featuring both these participants is the Tucumán - Almagro 2-0 played not long ago this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last nine matches): San Martín Tucumán five wins, three draws and Almagro one victory. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
