An in-form Atletico Tucuman side will take on Sarmiento at the Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro in round nine of the 2022 Argentine Primera Division.

Both teams head into the contest off the back of their respective victories last time out, and they will be looking to pick up where they left.

Atletico Tucuman picked up a third straight win following their 1-0 victory over Aldosivi at the Estadio Jose Maria Minell on Saturday.

Ramiro Ruiz Rodriguez broke the dealock in the 14th minute to help his side come away with all the three points.

That result has seen Lucas Pusineri’s side move up to third place and they are currently level on points with current league leaders Godoy Cruz (16).

Next up is the challenge of an opposing side who have come out on top in each of the last two meetings between the teams.

El Gigante del Norte follow up their next encounter with a trip to Independiente on Sunday, while the visitors will take on Colon de Santa Fe.

Meanwhile, Sarmiento ended a run of three matches without a win through a 2-0 victory over Defensa y Justicia at the Estadio Eva Peron on Saturday.

Sergio Quiroga found the opener in the 33rd minute before a late spot kick from Javier Toledo sealed the deal for their side.

Mario Sciacqua’s side are currently sitting 14th in the league standings with 11 points from eight matches, level on points with 12th-placed San Lorenzo, and they will now be looking to continue their surge up the table with a decent run of results.

El Verde are yet to pick up a win away from home in any of their last six matches, and they will have it all to do as they aim to turn their fortunes around on the road.
