2nd position in the Superliga table for Boca Juniors so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 11th-placed Atlético Tucumán visits Estadio Alberto José Armando.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Libertadores game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at The Strongest. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Atlético Tucumán 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.
