Racing Club vs Atletico Tigre Prediction: Can Racing Register its First Win of 2023 Liga Professional?

In the upcoming fixture of the Argentine Primera Division, Matchday 3, Racing Club will take on Atletico Tigre at the Estadio Presidente Perón in Avellaneda. Racing Club is still finding its first win of the season, whereas Tigre has started an unbeaten run and stands 10th with a win and 4 points. For the upcoming matchup, Racing Club will be missing Juan Caceres due to the red card suspension. The upcoming match is likely to be a competitive one, with both sides looking to dis-regard the previous encounters against each other. However, the last time these two played each other, Racing won 2-3.

Racing did end the previous season on a high, but so far in 2023 it has been unable to win a single contest so far. With Racing playing at home, it will be an opportunity for the hosts to register a win, as they haven’t won at home in the last two home matches. In 24 matches, Racing averages 1.17 goals per game against Tigre, which is quite acceptable even though the last outing resulted in a 2-3 win for Tigre. However, the last time Racing took on Tigre in Liga Professional, the match ended in a draw (3-3). Talking specifically about the home stats, Racing averages 1.50 goals per game in the last 10 fixtures at home, whereas the conceding rate is just 1.10 goals per game. Hence, Racing can certainly dominate Tigre and rise up in the ranks of this season.

Gabriel Arias, Iván Alexis Pillud, Leonardo Sigali, Jonathan Galván, Gonzalo Piovi, Anibal Moreno, Nicolás Oroz, Matías Rojas, Maxi Moralez, Jonathan Gomez, Maximiliano Romero.
