Independiente and Atlético Tucumán will meet tonight in the province of Jujuy, in a match corresponding to the 16th Argentine Cup final.
The match will be played from 20:05 at the 23 de Agosto stadium in Gimnasia de Jujuy, will be refereed by Fernando Echenique and the broadcast will be responsible for the TyC Sports signal.
The “Rojo” accepted this stage after leaving Central Norte de Salta on penalties on 26 March at the Mario Kempes stadium in Córdoba.
For the Professional Football League (LPF) tournament, Avellaneda’s team just beat Estudiantes de La Plata 2-1 and are in fifth position with seven units (alongside Estudiantes and Banfield), three behind leader Newell’s Old Boys (10).
Coach Eduardo Domínguez will not be able to count on Lucas Romero, who ended the match against “Pincha” with a sprained ankle, so his place will be taken by Damián Batallini or Iván Marcone in the only change in the starting eleven.
Atlético Tucumán, on the other hand, beat Brown de Adrogué 2-0 in the previous match of the federal tournament, while in the Professional League they drew goalless against Huracán.
DT Lucas Pusineri will shoot Manuel Capasso in the defensive zone to replace Bruno Bianchi, while in midfield he would put Joaquín Pereyra in place of Ramiro Ruiz Rodríguez
The winner of this match will face Vélez Sarsfield in the round of 16, the team that ultimately beat Cipolletti de Río Negro 5-0.
