Tigre couldn’t beat Bolivar at home as Pablo Magnin missed a penalty in stoppage time. The 1-1 draw gave them the first point in the Copa Libertadores. They will have to fight for a place in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana and that should be a realistic goal for the remaining two games, because in case of victory they will equalize Bolivar in third place. Tigre has not won his last five games in all competitions and has only taken one point (three of them took place at the José Dellagiovanna stadium).
Guarani took an important point last week by drawing a 0-0 home draw against group leaders Palmeiras. With seven points, they only need one more point to secure their place in the round of 16. On Sunday, the team beat General Diaz 1-0 away and remain in fourth place against Paraguay’s Torneo Apertura with 40 points, nine behind already champion Cerro Porteno. The Guaranis have been undefeated for six games in all competitions with four wins and two draws and they have also won the last two away.
Guarani seems to be the better team and they already beat Tigre 4-1 two weeks ago, so I will follow them again.
