Tigre vs Lanus

After their first victory in 2024, Tigre returned to their usual form last Thursday, when they showed another worrying performance and succumbed to a narrow 1-0 away defeat to Newell’s Old Boys. El Matador remain bottom-placed in the Copa Liga Profesional, alongside Deportivo Riestra and Atletico Tucuman on five points. In fact, El Matador won only one of their last 11 competitive matches, drawing three and losing seven. Tigre beat CA Central Cordoba 1-0 in their last home match after a winless run of two draws and two losses at Estadio Jose Dellagiovanna,

Lanus played far below expectations last Thursday and that disappointing performance resulted in an unexpected 1-0 home defeat to CA Central Cordoba. That loss put an end to their five-match unbeaten streak of four victories and one draw in the Copa Liga Profesional. However, Ricardo Zielinski’s men remain occupying one of the playoff spots in group B, sitting in third spot on 16 points. Lanus secured nine points from 12 on offer as the visiting side this term, winning three and losing one so far.

The very poor and desperate Tigre meets this solid Lanus who will be looking to recover from the completely unexpected defeat vs Central Cordoba. I expect to see an open game here as the hosts have one of the worst defenses in the league but they need to take risks especially at home. The weekend results were good for Lanus, a win here would put them in 2nd place of the Group B and looking great to secure a playoff spot, so I expect them to go for the win.

BET: OVER 2 @ 1.95
