Overview
- Kickoff is scheduled for 20:00 local time in Alta Córdoba in the Apertura’s interzonal sixth round.
- Diego Flores began his tenure with a 2-0 home win over Central Córdoba that highlighted greater order and intensity, and he has signaled tactical flexibility across the back line.
- Franco Jara is out injured for Instituto, with Matías Fonseca having stepped in and scored on Flores’s debut.
- Atlético Tucumán comes off a 4-0 home win over Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, with Hugo Colace expected to repeat the 4-4-2 starting XI as a late fitness call lingers over left-back Ignacio Galván.
- The visitors seek to end a year-long away win drought and a skid in Córdoba that stretches back to November 2018, as defender Gianluca Ferrari frames the trip as “finals” focused on results and a clean sheet.
