Preview: Atletico Tucuman vs. Sarmiento - prediction, team news, lineups

sportsmole.co.uk, 17 July 2022, 22:58

In-form Atletico Tucuman entertain the challenge of Sarmiento at the Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro in round nine of the 2022 Argentine Primera Division.

Both teams head into this one off the back of respective victories last time out and will be looking to pick up where they left off.

Match preview

Sarmiento ended a run of three games without a victory courtesy of a 2-0 triumph over Defensa y Justicia at the Estadio Eva Peron on Friday.

Sergio Quiroga opened the scoring in the 33rd minute before a late penalty from Javier Toledo sealed the deal for Israel Damonte's men in Junin.

El Verdolaga are 11th in the standings at the moment and now aim to continue their surge up the league table with a decent run of results.

Still yet to record a win on the road in any of their last six matches, Tuesday's visitors have it all to do as they look to turn things around away from home.

Atletico Tucuman made it three wins on the bounce by seeing off the threat of a struggling Aldosivi side at the Estadio Jose Maria Minella on Saturday.

The game was decided in the early exchanges when Ramiro Ruiz Rodriguez broke the deadlock in the 14th minutes to hand Diego Erroz's men all three points.

As a result, El Gigante del Norte have moved up to second place and now trail current leaders Newell's Old Boys by just a single point.

Their next task comes against an opposing outfit who have come out on top in each of the last two meetings between the teams off the back of three consecutive defeats in this fixture.

Tuesday's hosts follow up their next clash with a trip to Independiente on Saturday while the away side lock horns with Colon de Santa Fe.

Thirty-year-old Federico Rasmussen is suspended for Sarmiento following his red card for two bookable offences against Defensa last time out.

Javier Toledo came off the bench to grab the clincher in the aforementioned game and he could be rewarded with a place in the starting XI here.

Harrinson Mancilla and Lucas Acosta remain sidelined for the away side as they continue to nurse knee and ankle injuries respectively.

Atletico Tucuman's Marcelo Ortiz will not play any part in Tuesday's contest due to a muscle problem which has seen him miss each of the last eight matches.

The home side are also set to be without the services of Uruguayan midfielder Jonathan Sandoval, who is currently nursing a hamstring injury
