In the last
round of the league, Velez Sarsfield played a goalless draw against Tigre in an
away game, resulting in a record of one draw and one loss in their last two
away matches. This indicates a sluggish performance when playing away from
home. Sarsfield are known for being a team that performs strongly at home but
struggles in away games. Despite their average away performance, their home
matches have been impressive. Sarsfield have maintained an unbeaten record in
six consecutive league home games and are currently on a three-game winning
streak. During this period, they achieved a notable victory over the league
powerhouse, River Plate. Their strength should not be underestimated. In their
last six league home games, Sarsfield scored a total of seven goals while
conceding only two. Their performance has been solid both in attack and
defence.
Atletico
Tucuman have been performing quite well recently. In the last round of the
league, they played a goalless draw against Central Cordoba de Santiage at
home. Over their last 10 games, they have achieved four wins, five draws, and
one loss, displaying a stable form. However, their away performance is
comparatively weak. In the last 10 league away games, Tucuman has only secured
two wins, four draws, and four losses, resulting in a winning rate of just 20%.
Furthermore, they have scored seven goals while conceding 10 in those 10 away
games. Their offensive and defensive performances in away matches are
noticeably inferior to their performances at home. It is evident that away
games are the biggest weakness for them.
While
Atletico Tucuman currently hold a higher position in the standings compared to
Sarsfield, the actual gap in strength between the two sides may not be significant.
Sarsfield have relied heavily on their strong home performances to collect
points, while Tucuman’s struggles in away matches align with Sarsfield’s
advantage. Considering these factors, it is reasonable to be optimistic about
Sarsfield’s chances of returning to their winning ways in this campaign,
particularly due to their formidable home court advantage.
