Newell’s vs Tigre
Newell’s Old Boys played one of their best games in the whole season last Monday, when they secured a massive 3-0 away success at CA Central Cordoba. Therefore, La Lepra are now on three league matches unbeaten, having won two and drawn one without conceding in that spell. That result also means the team accumulated 36 points in the Liga Profesional, which allows them to stay into the Copa Sudamericana zone in the aggregate table and keeps their hope alive regarding the Copa Libertadores tickets (sitting three points behind the last qualifying berth at the moment).
Tigre are experiencing their best form this season at the moment. Last Sunday, a brace from promising winger Blas Armoa allowed the team to clinch a big 2-1 home success over Independiente, which means El Matador are now unbeaten in their last nine league matches (having won five and drawn four). Therefore, Diego Martinez’s men made iit 37 points in the Liga Profesional to hold onto one of the Copa Sudamericana berths in the aggregate table. On away turf, Tigre haven’t lost any of their last four, winning two and drawing two in that spell.
Tigre are right now one of the teams in best form in the league and also the 3rd best attack in the league, so I can see at least a couple of goals here against a Newell’s that also comes from a good weekend win.
