Lanus vs Tigre
Lanus showed an improved version last Friday, when they secured a 2-2 away stalemate at CA Central Cordoba. El Granate are producing a terrible campaign, sitting in the bottom spot of the league table on 11 points after winning only one of their last 12 matches (three stalemates and eight losses), but they also grabbed four points from the last six on offer. Lanus won their last home match (1-0 over Sarandi Arsenal) to stop a four-game winless streak of two draws and two losses at Estadio Nestor Diaz Perez in league action.
Tigre secured a valuable home point last Saturday, when they drew 1-1 against title candidates River Plate after conceding first. However, Diego Martinez’s men also extended their winless streak to four league games (three stalemates and one defeat). As a result, they are now on 19 points in the Liga Profesional, safe from relegation threats but unable to approach the continental spots in the aggregate table. On the road, El Matador have been winless in their last seven matches, having drawn three and lost four since beating Union Santa Fe 2-1 in the league opener.
Only 7 of the 28 teams in the league have more than 20 goals conceded and these are two of them, so with not much in play for either side I expect to see an open game with goals.
