**Atlético Tucumán hosts Barracas Central in a clash where the home side's inconsistency meets the visitors' defensive struggles** — neither outfit is firing on all cylinders, but the hosts have the edge at the Monumental. 🏟️

Tucumán's form is streaky (a win over Racing sandwiched between losses), while Barracas are winless in five and bleeding goals. The visitors will set up deep with **K. Jappert** and **Y. Rak** anchoring the back five, but injuries have decimated their squad.

Key storylines:

- **Atlético Tucumán** need to capitalize on home turf and superior recent record in the H2H — two wins in the last four meetings
- **Barracas Central's** injury crisis (five players out including **N. Orsini**) forces them into damage-control mode
- **L. Díaz** and **R. Tesuri** must break down a suffocating defensive shape to unlock three points

Expected lineups:

- **Atlético Tucumán**: L. Ingolotti, I. Galván, L. Vallejo, F. Nicola, L. Di Plácido, L. Vega, N. Laméndola, L. A. Godoy, J. Fernández, R. Tesuri, L. Díaz
- **Barracas Central**: M. A. Miño, N. Demartini, K. Jappert, Y. Rak, R. Barrios, R. Insúa, I. Tapia, D. Miloc, E. Rolón, N. Briasco, J. Candia

Prediction:

**Atlético Tucumán 2–0 Barracas Central**. Home side lean — Tucumán's slight edge in form and Barracas stretched thin at the back. 📍
