Patronato Prediction
Patronato sit second from bottom in the Argentinian Superliga so the hosts will be keen to build upon their recent excellent result away at 7th placed River Plate which saw Patronato run out 3-1 winners away from home.
Mixed results overall in the recent weeks though have meant that the hosts remain near the foot of the table having drawn with San Martin Tucuman and Velez Sarsfield, a win at River Plate but defeats at Boca Juniors and Newell’s Old Boys, both away from home.
Results at home though have been promising in recent times as the hosts stubbornly refuse to lay down, losing just one of their last five matches on home soil which was a 2-1 loss to Independiente, but wins against Talleres and Rosario Central along with points against San Martin Tucuman and Velez Sarsfield will give the hosts hope ahead of this clash.
- Patronato have lost just once in their last 5 home matches
- Atletico Tucuman have won 4 of their last 5 matches in the Superliga
- 5 of the last 7 meetings between these two sides have ended in stalemate
Atletico Tucuman Prediction
Atletico Tucuman sit in 3rd place on the Superliga ladder having won four of their last five matches overall with wins against Rosario Central, San Lorenzo, Belgrano and Gimnasia La Plata and just the one defeat to San Martin Tucuman.
The visitors sit in third spot but level on points with Boca Juniors with both teams vying for the final third place in order to qualify for the CONMEBOL Libertadores. Atletico Tucuman hold the better away record which stands at 4-2-1 12/6 and they’ve lost just once in their last eight away matches.
However, Atletico Tucuman will know they have their work cut out if they’re to grab all three points in this encounter as 5 of the last 7 meetings between these two sides have ended in stalemate, and the previous meeting ended in a Patronato 2-1 home win.
In addition, Atletico Tucuman have kept just one clean sheet on the road in the Superliga so far this season, so they’re by no means guaranteed of success here.
Betting Tips Verdict
Despite their lowly league position, Patronato are certainly no pushovers and they could grab a point against Atletico Tucuman in this one.
