All right, everyone, let's dive in. We've got a face-off between Atlético Tucumán and Instituto Córdoba today. Please, let's keep our enthusiasm in check.
Starting off with goalkeepers, it looks like Atlético Tucumán will be sticking with Tomás Durso with an impressive 7.27 rating and more saves under his belt than I've got sarcastic comebacks. That is saying something. On the other end, Instituto Córdoba is putting their faith in Manuel Roffo, a name as strong as his 7.00 rating.
Now onto the players, because apparently, they're slightly important in this game. Atlético Tucumán's got their homeboy Leandro Díaz out there with a 7.27 rating and Matías de los Santos who could probably pass a ball through a needle's eye with 85.7% pass accuracy.
On the other hand, Instituto Córdoba has put their eggs in the baskets of Alex Luna and Nicolás Cordero, both players boasting decent ratings of 7.30 and 7.23, respectively. Luna even has a goal to his name, let's see if he can turn one past good ol' Durso.
Looking at the past, last time these two giants met, Atlético Tucumán managed to edge out a 1-0 victory. As for the regular season records, both are quite frankly dismal. Instituto Córdoba is hobbling with 3 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses while Atlético Tucumán seems to be dragging their feet with a record that reads more like a bad wifi password: 2 wins, 1 draw, and 8 losses.
In their recent kangaroo-hop of form, Instituto Córdoba did manage to bag their latest match against San Martín de San Juan, but before that took a few beatings from Lanús, Argentinos Juniors, and Independiente. Atlético Tucumán seems to be on a losing streak, their last win a mere speck in the rearview mirror.
So, what does all this rambling boil down to? Well…
