Atletico Tucuman welcome Argentinos Juniors to the Monumental Jose Fierro with two very different seasons on display. Tucuman sit 19th in the Clausura table and have won just once in their last five league games, while Argentinos occupy 4th spot and arrive as the form team of the last month. The two sides met twice already in recent competitions, both tight affairs decided by a single goal, so history suggests this will not be the one-sided contest the standings imply.
Ramiro Ruiz Rodriguez has been Tucuman’s most direct outlet, netting twice and setting up two more in his last five appearances, and he will need a big night against a disciplined Argentinos back line. For the visitors, Tomas Molina leads the line and has drawn four offsides calls in five games, a sign he is constantly attacking the space behind Tucuman’s defense.
Hot stat: Argentinos Juniors have won three of their last five matches and lost just once, while Tucuman have managed only one win in the same stretch, a gap that mirrors their current standings split of 11 places.

Atletico Tucuman vs Argentinos Juniors prediction
We predict Argentinos Juniors edge this one, backed by a double chance play rather than a straight moneyline bet. Tucuman’s home form has been shaky, two wins, three draws and plenty of defensive lapses across 14 league matches, and Falcioni’s side has struggled to turn possession into points lately. Argentinos, under Nicolás Diez, have been efficient rather than spectacular, winning low-scoring games and defending in numbers, which fits the double chance approach nicely given Tucuman’s home resilience in head-to-head history.
Tucuman commit more fouls per match than their visitors, 64 against 42 across the last five outings, and have picked up one red card in that span against zero for Argentinos. That discipline gap could matter in a game where Argentinos look to control tempo through Francisco Fabián Álvarez and Kevin Gutiérrez, both averaging over 150 passes in their recent matches. Expect Tucuman to press aggressively and concede set pieces, an area where Argentinos have actually been generous conceding 49 free kicks themselves, so this could be a scrappy, stop-start affair rather than a free-flowing one.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | Argentinos Juniors Double Chance (Draw or Win) & Under 2.5 Goals |
| ⚽Total Goals: | Under 2.5 |
| 💥Both Teams To Score: | Yes |
| 🎯Total Corners: | Over 9.5 |
Team Analysis
Tucuman’s last outing ended 1-1 against Platense, a result that kept them at arm’s length from the relegation places without solving their consistency problem. Across their last five games they have one win, two draws and two losses, including a damaging 2-3 defeat to Rosario Central and another 2-3 loss to Barracas Central, both matches where they conceded late. The pattern points to a defense that cracks under sustained pressure, something Argentinos could exploit with their patient buildup play. In our preview of Atletico Tucuman vs Platense we backed Platense via double chance paired with under 2.5 goals, and the 1-1 scoreline delivered on both counts since the draw covered the double chance and the match stayed under the goals line.
Argentinos Juniors head into this fixture off a tidy 1-0 win over Independiente Rivadavia, their third win in four matches during the last month. That run also includes a 1-0 win over Banfield and a 2-1 win over Tigre, only interrupted by a 1-1 draw with Platense and an earlier 0-1 loss to Rosario Central. The pattern is clear: Diez’s side scores first and manages the game from there, a method that has produced a 53% win rate this season against Tucuman’s 32%. Their away form backs this approach, built on composure rather than volume of chances.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Argentinos Juniors the favourite
- Moneyline Atletico Tucuman 2.90 | Argentinos Juniors 2.55
- Draw 2.95
The market splits this fixture narrowly, roughly 32% for Tucuman, 31% for the draw and 37% for Argentinos, which lines up with the visitors’ superior form and league position. Odds around 2.55 on Argentinos look fair rather than generous given Tucuman’s home record this season, which is why we lean toward the double chance rather than chasing the outright price.
Possible Starting Lineups
Atletico Tucuman possible starting eleven
- GK: Luis Ingolotti
- DF: Gianluca Ferrari, Juan Infante, Leonel Di Plácido, Julián Fernández
- MF: Lautaro Godoy, Iván Tesuri, Franco Nicola, Nicolás Laméndola, Ezequiel Ham
- FW: Ramiro Ruiz Rodriguez
Falcioni has stuck with his 4-1-4-1 setup across the last five games, trusting Lautaro Godoy to shield the back four while Ruiz Rodriguez leads the attack alone. Ingolotti’s 18 saves in that span show how often this defense has been tested, and watch Franco Nicola’s work rate on the right, he leads the squad in passes attempted among the wide players.
Argentinos Juniors possible starting eleven
- GK: Gonzalo Siri
- DF: Sebastián Prieto, Francisco Fabián Álvarez, Franco Vázquez, Franco Paredes
- MF: Nicolas Oroz, Kevin Gutiérrez, Gastón Verón, Hernan Lopez, Matías Giménez
- FW: Tomas Molina
Diez’s 4-2-3-1 relies on Oroz and Gutiérrez controlling the middle while Verón and Giménez rotate behind Molina. Prieto’s goal and assist in the last four matches make him a threat from the back line on set pieces, a weapon that could matter against a Tucuman side conceding plenty of free kicks in dangerous areas.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Argentinos Juniors carry the better numbers into Tucumán: a 53% season win rate against 32%, a top-four spot against 19th, and a recent run that includes three wins in four. Tucuman’s home discipline issues, 64 fouls and a red card across five games, give Argentinos openings to control the tempo and pick their moments. To be honest, a repeat of the tight 0-1 scoreline from their last meeting would not shock us, and our staking preference goes to Argentinos Juniors double chance combined with under 2.5 goals, a bet that covers both the quality gap and the cagey nature these two have shown each other historically.
