Atlético Tucumán San Martín San Juan betting prediction

The away team comes to this round of the Liga Profesional Argentina (2nd Phase) after having ended the last qualifying stage (1st Phase) in the 15^th position, with 9 points won. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa Argentina, they got an away loss against Racing Club by (3‑1). In the last 7 away league matches San Martín SJ has a record of 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 21 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 losses in the last away matches and they haven't won any of the last 7 away matches. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (5 out of 7 matches) and after the 90' 1‑0 (4 out of 7 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 15 of the last 19 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 16 matches for the Liga Profesional Argentina, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 19 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 5 of their 12 goals between minutes (16'‑30'); they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

San Martín de San Juan will be under pressure after a very poor Apertura campaign, aware that they need to react quickly to avoid relegation. The focus will be on defensive solidity and trying to exploit counter-attacks in order to surprise away from home. The team will have to show more intensity and concentration than in previous rounds. Despite the difficulties, they see the match as a chance to make a fresh start. It will be a tough contest, and every detail could define the result. Scoring as a visitor is the first step to changing the scenario.

Confirmed Lineup: Matías Borgogno, Esteban Burgos, Alejandro Molina, Luciano Recalde, Lucas Diarte, Sebastián González, Nicolás Watson, Diego González, Tomás Fernández, Federico Anselmo, Horacio Tijanovich.
Coach: C. Monasterio.
