⭐ Editor's Pick
Independiente are considered favourites to advance to the next round thanks to their higher quality players. However, the team is far from their best form at the moment, so complete dominance is unlikely. Atlético Tucumán are well aware of their situation and in a knockout match are unlikely to take too many risks, especially in the early minutes. Given that Independiente's last five matches have ended with a maximum of two goals scored, our main bet is total under 2.5 goals. The expected score in regular time is 1:1.
