Platense – Tigre

Platense fans will have felt heartbroken last Monday, when the team succumbed to a devastating 2-1 home defeat to Godoy Cruz (the best teams in the league at the moment). El Calamar are now on three league matches without a win, drawing two and losing one in that spell. As a result, they remain on 12 points in as many matches in the Copa Liga Profesional, far away from the playoff spots but also safe from relegation threats. Platense also saw their 12-match unbeaten streak of five victories and seven draws at their own stadium end last Monday.

Tigre are now clearly the worst team in league action at the moment. Last time out, the team were dominated from beginning to end and suffered a heavy blow, losing 4-1 to Belgrano at home in their first game under interim boss Juan Carlos Blengio. El Matador remain bottom in the aggregate table, having earned five points in 12 matches so far. In fact, they are now holding a four-game losing streak in this competition. Furthermore, Tigre secured a single point across their last seven matches on away turf. Coach Sebastian Dominguez will make his debut on Monday.

Big derby from the north of Buenos Aires, Platense has been strong at home despite the last minute defeat against Godoy Cruz last week and they should be motivated to beat the worst team in the league who will have the debut of a new coach that will be making his first experience managing a top division team.
