Independiente, excited by the victory he achieved in his previous presentation, in Santiago del Estero, will visit Atlético de Tucumán tomorrow in the continuity of date 26 of the Professional Football League (LPF), with the mission of stringing together another success to arrive with high spirits to the classic with Boca in a week.
The match will be played this Sunday starting at 4:30 p.m. at the José Fierro del “Dean” stadium in Tucumán, will be refereed by Pablo Echavarría and televised by TNT Sports.
Avellaneda’s “Red” has a discreet campaign with just 28 points, but he raised his spirits with his victory last week over Central Córdoba (1-0) as a visitor, and he wants to come strengthened to next Saturday’s classic at his home stadium against Boca, to close the tournament as well as possible.
His rival, Atlético Tucumán, added 31 points and the weak campaign improved with the arrival of the technical duo made up of Favio Orsi and Sergio Gómez, who replaced Lucas Pusineri.
In the matches led by the technical duo, the “Dean” beat Huracán as a visitor, Gimnasia at home and then tied in Rosario with Newell’s.
However, to receive Independiente, the best player of the team, the offensive midfielder Joaquín Pereyra, wanted by several clubs, including River and Racing, will not be available due to suspension, and Braian Guille or Bautista Kociubinski will enter in his place, something that will be defined around the time of the game.
In Independiente, DT Ricardo “Ruso” Zielinski, much loved by Atlético fans for the good memories he left in Tucumán, will have to retouch the formation with the entry of Joaquín Laso in defense to replace Edgar Elizalde, who was sent off in Santiago del Estero and will have to meet a suspension date.
The record between the two is 15 games and is equal with six wins for each and three draws, with the detail that the Tucumans prevailed the last two times, at home and then in Avellaneda.
