This could be an interesting match as Atletico Tucuman have their presumed home advantage while River Plate are ahead 17 points in the Superliga table.
River Plate could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa Libertadores game only three sleeps ago. That game, against LDU Quito, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for River Plate.
River Plate 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.
Atlético Tucumán form and stats
Atlético Tucumán have collected 16 points from their Superliga home games so far after 4-4-3.
In their previous game, the manager R. Zielinski led his Atlético Tucumán to a defeat in the Superliga match away at Gimnasia La Plata. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Independencia de Tucumán. Previous to that game, a Copa Libertadores home match hosting Independiente Medellín (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) in a game that was won 1-0.
Atlético Tucumán are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. Atlético Tucumán have conceded 13 in these home matches.
River Plate form and stats
Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of River Plate so far, with 9-2-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Superliga statistics. River Plate are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played twelve in a row without losing.
River Plate play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to LDU Quito. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Defensa y Justicia in the Superliga.
After this away game River Plate return home for a Copa Libertadores game against Deportivo Binacional. That game is only four sleeps after this.
River Plate are a potent attacking force on the road with their 28 goals in 11 league games. It's not easy to score on River Plate as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
