Argentinos Juniors
- Argentinos Juniors have been one of the most consistent sides in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 campaign, with 23 points from their 13 games leaving them in fifth in the table.
- They’ve won four and lost just one of their last five in all competitions, while they have a flawless record in their last three at home (W3).
- They are prolific counter-pressers and have scored nine goals across their eight home league matches, a rate that suggests they could hit the back of the net with the minimum of fuss on Sunday.
- Alan Lescano leads the line through the middle as the most clinical of the attackers, netting two goals in the league campaign thus far, but often provides the creative spark when dropping deep.
Atletico Tucuman
- Falcioni’s men look to have had a tune-up since his arrival, as they are much more compact and structured in their approach, looking to set up with a low block and hit teams on the counterattack.
- Tucuman are in a woeful 26th place with just ten points from their 13 matches this campaign, so something needs to change if they are to move away from the relegation zone.
- Their latest pair of games saw them lose 2-1 away to Rosario Central and draw 0-0 at home to Tigre.
- However, Atletico Tucuman may have other ideas about how this matchup plays out after the recent appointment of Julio Falcioni, who has been working wonders at the club since taking over in March 2026.
