Independiente aim to extend momentum against Atlético Tucumán | OneFootball

The “Rojo” hosts the “Decano” at the Libertadores de América–Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium, under pressure to win in order to stay alive in the league competition. The match will kick off at 8 PM and will be refereed by Sebastián Martínez, with Yamil Possi in charge of the VAR.

Independiente will face a crucial clash against Atlético Tucumán, for the fourteenth round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional League.

Gustavo Quinteros’ team comes in urgently needing three points to keep their playoff hopes alive. The match will be played from 8 PM at the Libertadores de América–Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium and will be broadcast by ESPN Premium.

The Avellaneda side is coming off a major relief: a 3-0 thrashing of Platense in a rescheduled match from the sixth round, which allowed them to break a 15-game winless streak.

Even so, the “Rojo” remains at the bottom of Zone B with just nine points and no room for error. A defeat would definitively eliminate them from contention.

On the other side will be Atlético Tucumán, who sit in eighth place in the same group and are also looking to break into the playoff spots.

The “Decano” arrives shaken after losing three of their last four matches and with a change at the helm: Hugo Colace will take over from Lucas Pusineri, who left the position during the week. The clash in Avellaneda promises tension and high stakes on both sides.

Probable lineups

Independiente: Rodrigo Rey; Leonardo Godoy, Kevin Lomónaco, Sebastián Valdéz, Jonathan de Irastorza; Santiago Montiel, Luciano Cabral, Rodrigo Fernández Cedrés, Matías Abaldo; Lautaro Millán and Gabriel Ávalos. Manager: Gustavo Quinteros.
