Racing Club Atlético Tucumán betting prediction

This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, that ended the previous edition of the lower division in the 4^th position and got the promotion. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss in away matches; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the CONMEBOL Libertadores, they got a home win against Estudiantes de Mérida by (2‑1). In the last 10 home matches Racing Club has won 5, tied 4 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. Goals have been frequent in their home matches, as 12 of the last 24 have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 18 out of 24 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 16 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (31'‑45'); they have conceded 6 of their 13 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Racing will debut in the Argentine championship playing at home, being evident that only the victory interests them. They are the favorite of the group and being in the first place should be just a consequence. They will have to work hard, that is clear, but they have an advantage over their opponents, at least in theory. That said, they will try to dominate the current confrontation so as not to risk making their debut with their left foot.

Confirmed Lineup: Gabriel Arias, Leonardo Sigali, Eugenio Mena, Ivan Pillud, Marcelo Díaz, Nery Domínguez, Walter Montoya, Matias Rojas, Lorenzo Melgarejo, Lisandro López, Héctor Fertoli.
Coach: G. Costas Makeira.
