Tigre fans will have felt disappointed after the team’s 2-2 away stalemate at Sarmiento last Tuesday, when the team conceded the equaliser just five minutes before the final whistle. However, El Matador continue performing very well in the Liga Profesional, having earned 34 points in 23 matches after eight without defeat (four victories and four draws). That remarkable campaign means the team remain occupying one of the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table. Furthermore, Tigre are on nine matches unbeaten at home, with five wins and four draws in that time.

Independiente’s impressive winning streak of five league games came to an end last Wednesday, when the team succumbed to a surprising 2-1 home defeat to CA Central Cordoba following a poor performance. As a result, Julio Cesar Falcioni’s have almost run out of chances to qualify for the 2023 Copa Sudamericana after producing an irregular campaign in the Liga Profesional, accumulating 30 points in 23 rounds.

Independiente coming from a terrible performance vs Central Cordoba will had a hard time against this solid Tigre.
