Editor's Prediction
Both teams have had a shaky start to the season and are in dire need of a win, so don't expect a cautious approach here. In this scenario, the opponents are likely to push forward more frequently, searching for attacking opportunities. In 13 of Atletico Tucuman's last 14 matches, at least two goals have been scored, which fits well with the anticipated game script. Thus, it makes sense to bet on over 1.5 goals.
