A tale of two Tucumans
A clash of two teams from Argentina’s north west means there is more than just pride on the line for Atletico Tucuman and San Martin de San Juan on Sunday. According to our Atletico Tucuman vs San Martin de San Juan prediction, this match could have high stakes with both sides aiming to gain momentum early in the season.
Tucuman’s manager Lucas Pusineri took charge on 9th February 2025 and has had a solid start to the season so far.
Atletico Tucuman have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches in all competitions.
They have won all three of their home matches so far, and after beating CA Independiente Avellaneda (2-0), Atletico Lanus (1-0), and holding Boca Juniors to a 0-0 draw away from home, Tucuman can be considered a decent pick to win here based on the latest Atletico Tucuman vs San Martin de San Juan odds.
San Martin de San Juan are in a slump
Leandro Romagnoli took over the San Martin de San Juan reins on 25th March 2025 and is yet to make a mark on the team, who have lost four in a row and won just one of their last five.
They have lost their last three games away from home, taking no points from a possible nine in that time, while they have lost both of their previous encounters with Racing Club away (3-1). This Atletico Tucuman vs San Martin de San Juan preview shows San Martin de San Juan will need a big performance to reverse their form.
Atletico Tucuman should control the match
Atletico Tucuman play a more pragmatic style of footy, where they remain disciplined in structure, slow in build up, but quick in transition when they are able to play on the front foot.
San Martin de San Juan are reactive, sitting deep, and looking to contain the opposition before launching the occasional counter attack, with experienced defenders and midfielders to help contain the damage.
All in all, it should be an interesting clash of styles and a chess match where the first goal will likely lead to momentum, but given the recent form of both sides, the home advantage, and the odds, we’re going for Atletico Tucuman to get the win. For those seeking Atletico Tucuman vs San Martin de San Juan betting tips, backing the hosts appears the logical choice.
The oddsmakers have them as favourites at 1.74, while San Martin de San Juan are 4.90. There is value to be had on the under 2.5 goals market, as Atletico Tucuman’s discipline should keep it tight, but we’re siding with the hosts to edge this one out, and our final Atletico Tucuman vs San Martin de San Juan prediction is a narrow home win.
