Barracas Central target upset vs Atlético Tucumán for play-off push | OneFootball

Barracas Central will host Atlético Tucumán at the Claudio Tapia stadium for matchday 11 of the Torneo Apertura.

Barracas Central and Atlético Tucumán will face each other this Monday from 3:30 p.m. at the Claudio Tapia stadium, as part of the eleventh round of the Professional Football League.

The match will be officiated by Sebastián Zunino, while the VAR will be handled by Silvio Trucco. The broadcast will be on TNT Sports Premium.

A victory that renewed hope at Barracas Central

Barracas Central comes from achieving one of the most notable results of the previous round by defeating Independiente Rivadavia 2-1 at the Bautista Gargantini stadium in Mendoza.

In an always challenging setting, "El Guapo" relied on an outstanding performance by goalkeeper Marcelo Miño and the offensive prowess of Jhonatan Candia and Gonzalo Morales to secure a win that reignited the expectations of the team from Parque Patricios.

With that boost in morale, the Barracas side will look to confirm their turnaround in front of their home crowd.

Atlético Tucumán, under pressure

On the other side will be an Atlético Tucumán going through a difficult time. The team led by Julio César Falcioni has yet to win in the tournament and needs to start earning points to climb out of the bottom places.

The “Emperor’s” debut ended in a draw against Aldosivi, although the Tucumán team had the chance to win and missed a penalty that could have changed the course of the match.

Although the draw ended a streak of three consecutive defeats, "El Decano" remains far from the top eight spots and needs to start winning to get their campaign back on track.

Probable lineups

Barracas Central: Marcelo Miño; Nicolás Capraro, Fernando Tobio, Nicolás Demartini, Damián Martínez; Tomás Porra, Dardo Miloc, Iván Tapia, Rodrigo Insúa; Jhonatan Candia, Gonzalo Morales.

Coach: Rubén Darío Insúa.

Atlético Tucumán: Luis Ingolotti; Maximiliano Villa, Clever Ferreira, Gastón Suso, Luciano Vallejo; Gabriel Compagnucci, Javier Domínguez, Ezequiel Ham, Franco Nicola, Renzo Tesuri; Carlos Abeldaño.

Coach: Julio César Falcioni.

Barracas will try to extend their good run and move closer to the qualification zone, while Atlético Tucumán will look to make a splash to start turning around a semester that has been complicated so far.
