Atlético Tucumán, one of the escorts of the leader Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, tries this Monday to return to the top of the championship against Argentinos Juniors, in the continuity of the twentieth round of the Professional Football League (LPF). The match will be played from 9.30 pm at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in La Paternal, with arbitration by Fernando Rapallini and will be broadcast by TNT Sports.
The “Dean” left the championship lead after nine consecutive dates by drawing 1-1 with Talleres a Tucumán, which left him in second position with 35 points, one behind Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata.
The coach of Tucuman’s team, Lucas Pusineri, will suffer a major defeat for the final part of the tournament as Ciro Rius has broken his arm, will have to undergo surgery and will lose what is left to play.
Argentinos Juniors and Atlético Tucumán met 12 times in the First Division with five wins for the “dean”, four for “Bicho” and three draws. Last time at La Paternal it was a 2-2 draw in the 2018 tournament.
