The Strongest vs Atlético Tucumán – Preview
The Strongest will seek their second victory in the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday and eliminate the last place team in Group C, the Argentine Atlético Tucumán.
The Tigre de Farías is obligated to win, aware that a draw or a defeat could greatly diminish their chances of fighting against the Paraguayan Libertad and the Uruguayan Peñarol, the current leaders of the group.
The Bolivian team will not have the Ecuadorian defender Edison Carcelén, one of their main figures, who was sent off in the match they lost 3-0 against the Paraguayan Libertad, and his replacement could be the Bolivian Gabriel Valverde.
The Strongest comes into the Copa match with the relief of having regained victory last Saturday against Royal Pari, whom they beat 0-2 in the Bolivian championship.
That broke their one-month losing streak, not counting the one in the Libertadores.
For the Argentines, the obligation to straighten their campaign is becoming greater each time, and part of that demand has to do with stealing some points, even better if it's three, in their visit to the 3,600 meters altitude of the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz.
The team led by the Argentine coach Ricardo Zielinski has not scored any points in the two games played and has accumulated two defeats, one at home against Libertad and the other away against Peñarol.
However, their reality in the local tournament is different as they won their last match 1-2 in their visit to Gimnasia, against whom they kept several of their usual starters rested for the match in La Paz.
The leader of Group C is Libertad with 6 points, followed by Uruguayan Peñarol and The Strongest with 3, and in last place is Atlético Tucumán who failed to score any points.
