Barracas Central vs Tigre Prediction: Will Tigre recover from their defeat?

Barracas Central host Tigre in a match between two teams in need of a rebound after the defeats were handed out. Both teams are too inconsistent and if this match proves to be pivotal in determining which way the competition will swing at this juncture.

Barracas Central (LWDDL)

Barracas Central arrive into this game on the back of a 1-0 loss to Boca Juniors. The performance consistently wasn't there, although the result is squeaking close on the scoreboard. Barracas had only 7 total shots and no effort on target. To that end, their second half was better as they had possession (57%), but no chances and playing their final third poorly. But for a few momentary threats of a counterattack, there was nothing, as their xG (0.49) did not match up. Barracas must improve the attacking phase if they are to come back with a home win after only 1 big chance created in the buildup play.

Tigre (LWWLW)

Tigre suffered a 0-2 defeat at home to Newell’s Old Boys in their last outing, which did not tally with their statistical dominance. They had 65% of possession and produced an outstanding 28 total shots, 11 of which found the target. Newell’s 1.60 compared to 2.13 xG: their inefficiency in front of the goal proved their undoing. They were caught out twice defenders in the goals, and it was times of sharp execution by visitors. Tigre’s attacking display was encouraging all the same and they are more than capable of controlling matches, particularly if they can tighten up the back when conceding goals and hone in on their finishing.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams are in a position to seek revenge in this match. But Tigre will be buoyed by their attacking display against the group’s top team in the last round, and Barracas should take advantage of home advantage. A classic match of rigid defense playing against quick attacking football, Tigre is likely to impose his will on the ball whilst the clash unfolds. Tigre do have the ability to create the chances, while Barracas have issues in attack, and hence the ones who will pose a greater threat are the visitors. Unfortunately, though, their defensive lapses could keep the game open. With any luck, Tigre can apply a similar fluidity to their pressing and end their chances better, and should take the three points.
