Atlético Tucumán vs River Plate Match Preview
Two wounded teams will be facing each other in Tucuman to see whose angst will last longer, for the Decano has been unable to obtain a single victory in this tournament and not even the three points would give them a shot to crawl to the 19th place, standing six points away. River hit a rocky patch during the last weeks, as in the last four matches the Millonarios scored no goals and obtained no points. Mario Gomez has not yet found a way to make its team work, and the five points they obtained in the 12 matches they played are dooming them back to the B once this tournament ends. We will see some surprises in Atletico this week. Deivis Barone will take Martin Villavicencio's place (received a red card last week) Sebastian Longo will not be called for this match, replaced by Claudio Vargas and Fabio Escobar will have its chance to show he deserves a place in the squad replacing Luis Miguel Rodriguez.
Leo Astrada is still struggling with his players and it seems his ideas are starting to run short, and unless the Millonarios recover their path soon next year is going to be a tough one not to get deeply involved in the Relegation fight. Changing team's formation to a 4-3-1-2 Adrián Ezequiel Cirigliano will play its first game in the Primera Division joining Matias Almeyda to create a solid defense in the midfield. After eight weeks Gustavo Bou will return to the squad, eager to recover its place leading River's offensive.
