Velez Sarsfield vs Atletico Tucuman Predictions

• All of the hosts previous seven matches have produced fewer than three goals.
• Six of the visitors last seven games have seen fewer than three goals.
• All of the previous eight meetings between these two have seen fewer than three goals.

Goals are something of a rarity

It’s been a testing start to the season for the hosts who have managed to secure just a solitary victory from their opening five matches but that did come here at the Estadio José Amalfitani so they’ll be desperate to claim another one here. Their games have all been exceptionally close contests and that’s evident by the fact that their fixtures are averaging just 1.8 goals per game so far.

The visitors have become exceptionally difficult to beat and are yet to taste defeat across their opening five matches of the new campaign. However, as good as that sounds, four of their five matches have finished all square and whilst their ability to grind out results should be admired, they really need something to click up front as they’re defensively sound. Their matches have averaged just 1.4 goals per game this season and that drops to zero when you look at their away games – not a single goal has been scored in either of their road matches so far.

Another closely fought contest seems likely

We don’t see this one being high scoring whatsoever and we’ll comfortably side with fewer than three goals being scored.
