Tigre vs Velez
Tigre are leaving good impressions in their last games. Last Tuesday, they registered a 1-1 away draw at Godoy Cruz, one of the best teams in the league, in an intense game. As a result, El Matador succumbed to a single defeat in their last ten Liga Profesional matches (along with three victories and six stalemates) and accumulated 24 points in this competition to stay two points behind the last Copa Sudamericana spot in the aggregate table. Tigre have been unbeaten in their last seven home matches, winning three and drawing four.
Velez Sarsfield had their home match against CA Central Cordoba postponed last Tuesday. The team come off a 2-2 away draw at Sarandi Arsenal last Sunday, which extended their winless streak to 14 Liga Profesional games (nine draws and five defeats). El Fortin accumulated only 13 points in 18 rounds, a terrible campaign for them. El Fortin have been winless on the road in this league season, having drawn six and lost four so far. On Thursday 15, Velez lost 2-0 to Independiente in the Copa Argentina round of 16.
Velez just can’t find the bottom of this pit and Tigre should be able to take advantage of this tired team.
