The managers G. Milito and R. Zielinski are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Superliga league table.

Atlético Tucumán have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
