Tigre vs Platense
Tigre managed a massive point last time out, securing an important 1-1 away draw at title candidates Talleres, with Ezequiel Forclaiz netting the equaliser in the 80th minute. In fact, El Matador made it four league games unbeaten, winning two and drawing two to accumulate 25 points in the Liga Profesional, which keeps them one point above the relegation zone in the aggregate table. At home, Tigre are on four without defeat, with two victories and two stalemates since losing to Godoy Cruz 2-0 in August.
Platense are showing improvements game after game. Last Sunday, the team secured a highly celebrated 2-1 home success against Argentinos Juniors in a heated derby, reversing the score thanks to goals from Mateo Pellegrino and Guido Mainero. El Calamar are now on six league games unbeaten, winning three and drawing three to make it 27 points in the Liga Profesional, which places them just three points behind the last Copa Sudamericana spot in the aggregate table. In fact, Platense haven’t lost any of the last four as the visiting side, with two wins and two draws.
This is a derby as they are both from close neighborhoods in the North of Buenos Aires, and a game definitely neither wants to lose. They’ve both looked improved lately, getting good results, but Tigre is a better attacking team as shown by the 7 goals scored in their last 4 games, and also they have 25 in this tournament while Platense only 17 so I think these odds on the hosts are too high and worth a bet.
