Atletico Tucuman play host to Gimnasia La Plata at Estadio Monumental Presidente Jose Fierro on Monday, with the two sides unbeaten in the Argentine Primera Division this season.

The visitors enter the contest sitted at top of the division with 14 points from the opening six matches, while the hosts are four points worse off in eighth place.

Lucas Pusineri’s side head into the contest having avoided a defeat from their first six league matches, with draws against Colon and River Plate in their first two.

They then claimed their first win, beating Lanus 2-1 as they came from behind through Ramiro Carrera’s second-half brace, before having to settle for a point from a goalless draw away at Huracan.

Atletico Tucuman then lost to Independiente in the Copa Argentina round-of-32 before playing out a draw with Godoy Cruz, but they managed to return to winning ways last time out when they took on Velez Sarsfield away from home.

While they will be pleased with their unbeaten record, El Decano will be keen to turn more of their draws into wins and they will go in search of a second straight victory to strengthen their spot at the top end.

Gimnasia La Plata began the campaign with draws against Estudiantes and Platense either side of a victory over Patronato, and now head into the contest off the back of three straight league wins.

Following a 2-0 victory over Flandria in the Copa Argentina, Nestor Gorosito’s side hosted Defensa y Justicia last time out and they managed a 1-0 victory as Tomas Muro scored the only goal in the 78th minute.

With that result leaving them ahead of Newell’s Old Boys on goal difference, Gimnasia will look to continue keeping their strong form and claim a fifith league win of the season on Monday.
