These are hectic days for the hometeam, as they had a game only four days ago in the Superliga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Defensa y Justicia.

Atlético Tucumán have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
