Atletico Tucuman vs Talleres Cordoba Prediction: Tucman Hungry to Win

In the upcoming fixture of the Argentine Primera Division, Matchday 2, Atletico Tucuman will take on Talleres Cordoba at the Estadio Monumental Presidente Jose Fierro in San Miguel de Tucuman. Going in the contest, the two sides will be hoping for a resilient showdown, as the start of the season is very important. With Lanus, Rosario, and Belgrano in the top five standings, teams will be looking to build their conscience and start winning. Atletico Tucuman and Talleres both have started the season with defeats against Boca Juniors (1-0) and Independiente (0-1). The last time Tallers and Tucuman took on each other, the game ended in a draw (1-1). Moreover, from the last 16 matches played between the two, Tucuman leads the head-to-head win count by 7-5.

Going in the matchup, Atletico Tucuman is coming off a defeat against Boca juniors (1-0). Talking about the positives from the last game, De La Fuente, Yonathan Cabral, and Francisco Di Franco were able to perform well. Tucuman is likely to carry on with the same 4-4-2 formation and at the moment no such changes have been reported. For the upcoming matchup, Tucuman will be little hesitant, as they have managed to win just 2 or the last 9 matches played against Talleres. However, Tucuman leads the goal scoring average against Talleres, which is around 1.56 goals per match. As teams have started a fresh season this year, it will be an interesting matchup. 

Tomás Marchiori; Hernán de la Fuente, Bruno Bianchi, Yonathan Cabral and Matías Orihuela; Renzo Tesuri, Guillermo Acosta, Francisco Di Franco and Joaquín Pereyra; Marcelo Estigarribia and Mateo Coronel.

Going in the matchup, Talleres will be missing Angelo Martino due to the red card suspension in the previous game. Talleres lost to Independiente due to the own goal strike in the 52nd minute of play. Apart from that Talleres maintained a 61% possession, with an accurate passing percentage of 79%. Moving forward, Talleres will be feeling the heat, as Tucuman is much stronger on paper and has a decent track record. With a goal scoring average of just 1.13 goals, Talleres is likely to struggle at large. With the likes of Juan Rodriguez, Rodrigo Garo, and Michael Santos in the side, Tallers might be able to just counter the attack from Tucuman.

Guido Herrera; Gastón Benavídez, Juan Carlos Portillo, Juan Gabriel Rodríguez and Franco Saavedra; Rodrigo Villagra, Alan Franco; Valentín Depietri, Rodrigo Garro and Francisco Pizzini; and Diego Valoyes.

Going in the all important matchup between the two, the heat will be no less than a qualifier. With Tucuman hungry to win and rise to its reputation, pressure will be on the visiting Talleres. The last two matches played between the two ended in a draw and the game total was also under 2.5 goals, however, the upcoming matchup is likely to produce conclusive results. I will back Tucuman to win by a margin of two or more goals. I am predicting a game total of under 2.5 goals and a final scoreline of 2-0.

• Atletico Tucuman to Win for 2.40
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.5
• Correct Score 2-0 for 10.00
