In a duel between the two teams with the worst yields in this edition of the Professional Football League Cup, Atlético Tucumán will host Talleres this Saturday in a match that matches the 13th date of zone A. The match will be held in Monumental José Fierro from 12, will be directed by Nazareno Arasa and broadcast by Fox Sports Premium.
Although the team from Tucuman, who scored only seven points in the tournament, is not fighting for classification, they will pay attention to this match because all the points they can add will help them try to avoid relegation at the end of the year: their bad weather brought him to the penultimate position in the table of averages, just above Patronato and Godoy Cruz.
“We all have to try to unite, to be aligned to continue improving. (The matches with) Talleres and Banfield will be two finals for us,” assured Lucas Pusineri, who replaced Juan Manuel Azconzábal as coach of Dean a few weeks ago and in recent days he achieved the first positive result: his team tied River at Monumental on Sunday and defeated Brown de Adrogué on Wednesday for the Argentine Cup.
Talleres ’progress in this Professional League Cup has also been somewhat erratic, where it has scored eight points so far. But the Cordovans are focused on other issues. Their attention was mainly focused on the Copa Libertadores, where they were Flamengo’s escorts in group H after their victory on Tuesday against Sporting Cristal.
