My Prediction
Atlético Tucumán by 1I tell you, soccer is a funny old game, or should I say, football for our friends outside the US. Here we are, stuck discussing Atlético Tucumán vs San Martín de San Juan. Yeah, I can see you sitting on your sofa, bags of chips in tow, eyes gleaming with the anticipation of some magical analysis that will secure your retirement. Well, my dear wishful thinker, here's my two cents. There are more things to factor into this match than to a high-stakes poker hand.
Atlético Tucumán had a kiss with Lady Luck coffee in their encounter back in January, winning by a tiny hair’s breadth against San Martín de San Juan. They’ve managed to taste the sweet nectar of victory more often this season as compared to their western Argentine counterparts sporting a record of 5-1-10. Not by much, but let's face it, when it comes to your weekend thrill, every single win goes a long way.
Tucumán’s recent form does give you the feeling of optimism, winning against Lanús and Independiente, so you think the good times are here. San Martín on the other hand, may seem like someone has stolen their luck. They’ve got more Ls in their recent form than the LA Lakers' logo... and that's just one.
As far as my crystal ball can see, even though San Martín would sell an arm and a leg for the win, Atlético Tucumán has been showing up for lunch-and-dinner, not merely surviving, but thriving. You can take this nugget of wisdom and contemplate your existence, or spend it with reckless abandon on the next match. So, here it goes:
