Platense will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Independiente.  They achieved 31% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Independiente's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process.  Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings.  It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Martín Palermo will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.  

They've drawn their last 2 league games at The Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.

The Atlético Tucumán squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Talleres, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  In that game they had 53% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Talleres who had 9 attempts and 2 on target.  

Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Lucas Pusineri where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 10 in the same period.  Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches.  They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.  

On an individual basis, Mateo Coronel will be looking to cause Platense some problems having scored 2 goals in Atlético Tucumán's last 6 away games in the league.
