The Tigre will receive the depressed Atlético Tucumán this Saturday in a match corresponding to the 17th round of the Professional Soccer League. The match will be played from 21:30 at the José Dellagiovanna stadium, will be refereed by Ariel Penel and broadcast by TNT Sports.
The team led by Diego Martínez has 21 points and just lost 2-1 in Avellaneda against Independiente, while the Tucumans are having a bad season with just 14 points, occupying third bottom place and their relegation average is worrying.
For this commitment, Martínez will use all his available players, despite Wednesday his team will face a key match in the definition of group D of the Copa Sudamericana as the home of Deportes Tolima.
The cast led by Lucas Pusineri will try to change their face after some extremely adverse days: in the last round of the LPF they lost 2-1 at home against Argentinos Juniors (2-1) and on Tuesday they were eliminated in the 32nd round of the Cup Argentina from Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, who beat them 3-1.
The record between the two stands at seven games and is tied with two wins apiece and three draws.
