Instituto v Atlético Tucumán: crucial playoff clash in Alta Córdoba | OneFootball

La Gloria, unbeaten in five matches, will seek their third consecutive win this Sunday from 4:45 p.m. in Alta Córdoba against a Decano that needs to win away again to stay among the top eight.

For Matchday 12 of the Clausura Tournament, Instituto and Atlético Tucumán will face off this Sunday starting at 4:45 p.m. at the Estadio Alta Córdoba. La Gloria arrive unbeaten in five, though with only one win in that span, and need all three points to enter the playoff zone. For their part, the Decano will look to break their winless streak away from home and solidify themselves within the top eight spots in the table.

The team led by Daniel Oldrá is coming off three straight draws, the latest a 0-0 away to San Martín (SJ). Captain Fernando Alarcón acknowledged the group’s frustration: “It’s been very hard for us, and it’s not just about the forwards. It’s something the whole team needs to improve.”

Atlético Tucumán, with 15 points, are currently inside the top eight. A win in Córdoba would give them confidence heading into the final stretch before the playoffs. However, they will be without Marcelo Ortiz, who reached the yellow-card limit in the 2-0 win over Platense. Coach Lucas Pusineri stated: “We’ll try to keep playing on equal terms in every stadium, and we hope to grow stronger in what’s ahead.”

Before kickoff, there will be a minute of silence in tribute to Miguel Ángel Russo, former Boca coach and manager of several Argentine clubs, who passed away this week at the age of 69.
