Boca vs Tigre
Boca Juniors didn’t have enough to handle the rest of their usual starters and succumbed to an unexpected 1-0 away defeat at Sarmiento last Sunday. Therefore, El Xeneize remain on three points after two rounds of Copa Liga Profesional action. That result also put an end to their seven-match unbeaten streak of six victories and one draw, but the team continue occupying one of the Copa Libertadores places in the aggregate table. Boca are without defeat in their last eight domestic matches at Estadio La Bombonera, having won seven and drawn one in that spell. On Wednesday 30, Boca won on penalties after a 0-0 away draw at Racing Club in the return leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals.
Tigre showed another worrying version last weekend, which resulted in an unexpected 2-1 home defeat to Racing Club’s alternative XI. Therefore, El Matador remain pointless in the Copa Liga Profesional after losing both games so far. As a result, they accumulate 34 points in the aggregate table, just six points above the relegation spot, occupied by Huracan at the moment. Therefore, coach Juan Manuel Sara left the club. Furthermore, Tigre lost their last away game (2-0 at Sarmiento) after two wins in a row on the road in domestic action. New boss Lucas Pusineri will make his debut here.
Boca hasn’t been exactly great lately but Tigre has been just awful. Boca comes from advancing to Copa Libertadores semifinals, they are in a good mood and should finally be able to get a triumph after 3 consecutive winless games.
