Tigre vs Barracas Central
After losing the Copa Liga Profesional final to Boca Juniors, Tigre returned to their usual standards last Sunday, when they played in good style to beat Union Santa Fe 2-1 away: Facundo Colidio and Diego Sosa found the back of the net to reverse the score. In fact, that loss was the only one across the last four league games (two wins and one draw in regular time). El Matador remain occupying one of the Copa Sudamericana places in the aggregate table at the moment. Furthermore, Tigre managed 14 points from 21 available at home this term as a product of four victories, two stalemates and a single defeat.
Barracas Central had to settle for a 1-1 draw against CA Central Cordoba in a hard-fought game last time out, when they played as hosts at Lanus. Therefore, the team secured their first point in the Liga Profesional to continue escaping the relegation spots. Alfredo Berti’s men succumbed to a single defeat in their last five league games, having won two and drawn two in that spell, which also keeps them near the Copa Sudamericana places in the aggregate table.
Tigre showed great determination last week to turn around the game vs Union, and I think they should have enough to beat this irregular Barracas at home.
