Velez vs Tigre

Velez Sarsfield continue struggling in domestic action. Last Saturday, they had to settle for a 1-1 away draw against newcomers Barracas Central (at Huracan) after wasting several goalscoring chances. Therefore, El Fortin are on four league games without a win (three stalemates and one loss) and remain performing an irregular campaign, with 12 points in as many games in the Copa Liga Profesional. Velez also lost their last home match (2-1 to CA Central Cordoba) to stop a 15-match unbeaten streak of nine victories and six draws at home in the league. On Tuesday 26, Velez lost 2-1 at home against Nacional from Uruguay in a Copa Libertadores group game.

Tigre played a poor game last Monday and eventually had to settle for a scoreless home draw against relegation candidates Sarandi Arsenal. However, the newcomers continue producing a remarkable campaign in the Copa Liga Profesional: having lost only one of their last six league matches (three victories and two draws), El Matador are on 20 points and will secure their ticket to the playoffs in the event of winning here. On a sorry note, Tigre are on four away games without a win, drawing two and losing two since beating Barracas Central (at Huracan) 2-0 in round three.

Velez can’t get out of this terrible situation and they will meet a motivated Tigre that can secure a place in the playoffs with a win, so I’m going with the guests here.
