Defensa y Justicia vs Tigre Prediction: Will Tigre return to victories?

Defensa y Justicia and Tigre play a clash in the 11th round of the Torneo Betano 2025 after both sides experienced recent disappointments.

Defensa y Justicia (LWWLW)

Boca Juniors beat Defensa y Justicia 4-0 in a game in which perhaps the scoreboard was too high for the difference between the sides. Given they had more possession (54% vs Boca) and equal on shots tries (9 vs 10), it was a frustrating day for Defensa who struggled to make real danger out of their possession control. They were brigadees twice in both halves as Boca took advantage of defensive gaffes and clinical in front of goal. Defensa, however, failed to create much of a hello with a record of just 0.35 xG, illustrating that the easiest opportunities were scarce. The wake up call came as a team that generally plays with composure and a shape in defence.

Tigre (WLWWW)

For their last outing, last Sunday, their 1-2 loss at home to Central Córdoba means they suffered late heartbreak after they were ahead. Tigre equalised in the 72nd minute when Oviedo gave them the lead, but seconds before the final whistle the result was turned on its head, with one goal coming from the penalty spot and another in stoppage time. Tigre dominated large spells by statistically a landslide, 15 shots and 2.04 xG, but a lack of efficiency and defensive concentration kept them from punting. Additionally they had 46% possession and were the more proactive team by far in the final third. A side that rose to the occasion but was unable to have a hand in the game’s dying moments was the unfortunate result.

Both of these sides will need a reaction in this match. With home advantage, Defensa y Justicia will regroup while Tigre will have to find balance in their attacking efforts. This is a match that will likely be close. The requirement for Defensa to strengthen their backline in contrast to Tigre’s desire for consistency for 90 minutes. It will be up to the hosts to respond well and according to form, but Tigre’s ability to create chances will again trouble them.
