Racing bid to climb from the foot against Atlético Tucumán in the Clausura | OneFootball

Racing host Atlético Tucumán on Sunday night in matchweek 8 of the Torneo Clausura, seeking a win to climb away from the foot of the table.

In SuperDepor.com’s reporting, Racing arrive in a difficult spell. Kick-off is at 21:30 at the Estadio Presidente Perón, better known as El Cilindro de Avellaneda, with TV coverage on ESPN Premium. Pablo Echavarría will referee and José Carreras is on VAR.

Racing are 15th in Zona B on five points, level with Aldosivi after their win over Banfield, and they have gone six matches without a victory in this Clausura.

The slump has dropped them to 22nd in the annual table, leaving next year’s international places a long way off. Hopes instead rest on a dramatic turnaround to win the Clausura or success in the Copa Argentina, where they are in the quarter-finals.

Atlético Tucumán have made a steady start, with 10 points and eighth place currently just enough for the play-offs, though a setback could complicate matters for the Decano.

Head coaches are Juan Pablo Vojvoda for Racing and Julio César Falcioni for Atlético Tucumán.
