In a crucial playoff clash, Instituto face Atlético Tucumán in Alta Córdoba | OneFootball

La Gloria, undefeated in five matches, will seek their third consecutive victory this Sunday from 16:45 in Alta Córdoba against a Decano team that needs to win away to stay among the top eight.

For the Torneo Clausura matchday 12, Instituto and Atlético Tucumán will face each other this Sunday starting at 16:45 at the Estadio Alta Córdoba. La Gloria arrives with five matches undefeated, although with only one win in that period, and needs to earn three points to enter the playoffs zone. Meanwhile, Decano will look to break their winless streak away from home and consolidate their position within the top eight spots of the table.

The team led by Daniel Oldrá is coming off three consecutive draws, the last one being a 0-0 against San Martín (SJ) as visitors. Captain Fernando Alarcón acknowledged the group's frustration: “It's been very difficult for us, and it's not just about the forwards. It's something the entire team needs to improve.”

Atlético Tucumán, with 15 points, is currently among 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 limit of yellow cards in the 2-0 victory against Platense. Coach Lucas Pusineri stated: “We will try to continue playing on equal terms in all stadiums and hope to become stronger in the upcoming matches.”

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