Tigre took a giant step to secure their top-flight status for next season last Monday, when they played enjoyable football to beat Belgrano 3-0 away from home. El Matador made it two victories in a row in the Copa Liga Profesional to accumulate 12 points in group B, which allowed them to open a four-point gap over Colon, who occupy the relegation spot in the aggregate table. That means they just need one more win to avoid any danger.

Platense had a rough night last Monday and couldn’t do anything to stop one of the best teams in the league: they lost 2-0 away at Godoy Cruz. That result put an end to their six-match unbeaten streak of three victories and three draws and also means El Calamar are now on three games without a win, taking just two points in that spell. However, they remain on 16 points, two behind the last playoff spot in group B with two rounds to go. Platense lost five of their last nine away matches in domestic action, along with a single victory and three draws.

Tigre looks alive after consecutive wins and they just need one more to forget of relegation, and playing at home against this relaxed Platense that’s safe since a couple of weeks ago looks like the perfect spot for them to take the 3 points they need.
