Round 1 of the Clausura, and Atletico Tucuman open their home account against an Independiente Rivadavia side whose recent form has been built largely on continental football. The Tucumanos arrive into this one compact and hard to break down, two wins and two draws from their last five with a defensive record that has been quietly impressive.
Tucuman kept clean sheets in 3 of their last 5 matches and went over 2.5 goals in only 1 of those 5. Rivadavia's recent goal-heavy games came in the Libertadores, against South American opposition at a different tempo. Both sides carry injuries: Suso and Martin are out for the home side, Macagno and Studer for the visitors. The market has this as a coin-flip at 2.62 vs 2.88, which tells you how open it is.
With Tucuman's home games consistently low-scoring and a new season bringing cautious starts, Under 2.5 goals at 1.57 is the play. It is not flashy, but the numbers point one way.
