Atlético Tucumán form and stats

Atlético Tucumán have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 2-1-8 (11 played). With the Atlético losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Atlético Tucumán failed to get anything from their last game, a Superliga home match vs Defensa y Justicia (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 0-4. Atlético lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Midfielder Joaquín Pereyra was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.04. Pereyra dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rosario Central wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

Atlético Tucumán are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, three draws and five defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

The attacking power of Atlético when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. For Atlético, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
