2022 Liga Profesional’s topscorer Mateo Retegui is keeping his standards up. Last Saturday, the striker scored a brace to give Tigre a big 2-1 away success at Estudiantes in the season opener. Besides taking the first three points of the season, Diego Martinez’s men extended their excellent form: the team lost only one of their last 13 matches in league action, winning eight and drawing four in that spell.

An early strike from Jonathan Candia in the first half gave Rosario Central a 1-0 home success over Argentinos Juniors with coach Miguel Angel Russo starting his fifth spell at the club. Therefore, El Canalla took their first three points in the Liga Profesional. Thanks to that victory, they made it six league matches unbeaten, with two successes and four draws since losing at Racing Club 4-3 in late September.

Rosario Central was just lucky to beat Argentinos Jrs last week in a game where they were clearly outplayed by their opponents, and they should be even in more trouble here against this solid Tigre.
