San Lorenzo vs Tigre
San Lorenzo continue to find trouble in the Copa Liga Profesional. Last Tuesday, the team had to settle for a 1-1 home stalemate against Estudiantes in an even match. As a result, El Ciclon are still winless in this competition, having grabbed only three points across the first five rounds as a product of three draws and two defeats. At home, San Lorenzo managed two points from nine on offer so far. Goalkeeper Facundo Altamirano returns after missing the last game due to an eye problem.
Tigre continue to get worse game after game. Last Wednesday, the team showed another worrying performance and ended up losing to Defensa y Justicia 1-0 at home. El Matador remain occupying the bottom spot of the aggregate table, having grabbed a single point in five Copa Liga Profesional matches so far. In fact, the side made it seven league games without a win (two stalemates and five losses). Tigre lost six of their last seven away matches, just beating Belgrano 3-0 in November.
Great spot here for San Lorenzo to finally win their first game of the season. They looked good in the 2nd half vs Estudiantes and will face at home arguably the worst team in the league who still couldn’t score a goal after 5 rounds, so I have to go with them to get the 3 points.
