Tigre v Boca

Tigre are still alive in their fight to stay in the top flight. Two weeks ago, the team showed a great display of effort to reverse the score and beat Atletico Tucuman 2-1 away. El Matador put an end to a three-match winless streak of two stalemates and one defeat in league action to accumulate 21 points in the Liga Profesional. Sebastian Dominguez’s men remain bottom in the aggregate table, but now trailing Sarmiento by just one point.

Boca Juniors put an end to their mini crisis last time out, beating Argentinos Juniors 1-0 at home with interim boss Mariano Herron in the dugout, thanks to a strike from Miguel Merentiel in the first half. El Xeneize stopped a three-game losing streak in this competition to accumulate 24 points in the Liga Profesional, still missing the Copa Libertadores’ zone in the aggregate rankings by three points. Boca are now without a win in their last seven domestic matches as the visiting side, drawing four and losing three. Coach Fernando Gago will make his debut at the club on Saturday. Sergio Romero and Marcos Rojo are set to return.

With the big possibility that relegations will be cancelled this season, Tigre should be more relaxed. Boca will have the debut of coach Fernando Gago but it’s difficult to imagine many changes after just a few training sessions so I don’t know where this game will go but two goals are definitely possible as the hosts have one of the worst defenses in the league and Boca with Cavani is always dangerous.
