Tigre – Huracan

Tigre secured a valuable point on their visit to Union Santa Fe last Sunday, when drawing 0-0 away, considering coach Diego Martinez’s decision to field a mostly alternative XI. El Matador are starting to improve in the context of an irregular campaign: they are now on four league matches unbeaten, winning two and drawing two, to accumulate 16 points in the Liga Profesional table in total. Besides, Tigre are on two home victories in a row in domestic action, having beaten Lanus 2-1 and Sarmiento 1-0.

Huracan are still facing big trouble in the league. In round 12, the team had to settle for a disappointing scoreless home draw against Argentinos Juniors even though their opponents were shown two red cards. Therefore, El Globo made it eight games without a win in this competition, drawing three and losing five since beating Barracas Central 2-0 at home in round four. That streak places them in 20th place of the league table on 13 points, leading bottom-placed Sarandi Arsenal and Union Santa Fe by five. Furthermore, Huracan are winless in their last five domestic matches on the road (two draws and three losses in a row).

Tigre won’t have striker Mateo Retegui, who has scored 8 of their 12 goals in the league this season, Huracan couldn’t score a goal in their last 4 games, so I’ll go with the UNDER here on what should be a tight game.
