**Racing's in freefall and Tucumán won't let them off the hook.** This is a clash between a team desperate for a win and one quietly grinding out results. 🎯

Racing have won just once in their last five and dropped points at home to Boca and Banfield — not the vibe you want hosting anyone. Tucumán, meanwhile, are the draw merchants (3 in 5) but they've got that one win tucked away and tend to cause problems for the big boys. Head-to-head favors Racing historically, but form is form.

Key storylines:

- **Racing's injury crisis** is real — Fernandez, Tello, Vergara, Rodríguez, and Díaz all out. That's depth bleeding.
- **Tucumán's defensive shape** (L. Vega, L. Vallejo, C. Ferreira anchoring it) has been stubborn; keep-outs are their language right now.
- **U. Ortegoza and M. Zaracho** need to generate something in midfield for Racing, or this turns into a long night at home.

Expected lineups:

- **Racing Club**: F. Cambeses, Pacha, G. Escudero, N. Colombo, E. Cannavo, M. Miljevic, M. Zaracho, U. Ortegoza, T. Conechny, A. Martínez, S. Solari
- **Atlético Tucumán**: L. Ingolotti, I. Galván, C. Ferreira, L. Vallejo, L. Di Plácido, L. Vega, N. Laméndola, F. Nicola, L. A. Godoy, R. Tesuri, L. Díaz

Prediction:

**Racing 1–1 Tucumán** — Racing need points but won't break through a Tucumán side built to frustrate. Draw feels inevitable. 0
