Betting tips and odds are provided below.

Tigre (WLDDW)

Tigres comes from an important victory against Belgrano. This victory gave them a good leap on the table, sitting now in 11th, allowing them to surpass both Belgrano and Argentino Jrs.

Surprisingly, Tigre has been fighting for good performances at home. In 3 matches played at home, with one of them for the Cup, Tigre drew 2 (losing in the Cup on penalties shootout) and lost 1. Of the 8 points they have so far, only 1 was at home.

They are a really fearless offensive team, with goals scored in 4 of the 5 matches played in the league so far. Also in all of those 4 matches they always scored 2 goals. A major contributor to this has been Mateo Retegui, who is the top goalscorer of the league, with 6 goals in 5 matches.

Argentinos Jrs (WLWL)

In the previous round, Argentinos Jrs lost to Central Cordoba in a rather unexpected way. Despite being significantly superior, they failed to score even though they had 76% ball possession, 16 shots, 4 of which were on goal. With only one goal on six shots, Central Cordoba was able to hold onto their lead and secure their first victory.

Last round, Argentinos Jrs. were hoping to record their first away victory, however this defeat resulted in their third straight away defeat.

For Argentinos Jr. to ultimately grab their first point away from Tigre, they will need a better performance, while also being able to hold Mateo Retegui's goalscoring streak.

Expert Betting Tips

The last 5 games between these 2 teams were really tight, as Argentinos Jrs has won 2, Tigre has also won 2 and with 1 draw. Goals were scored in all of those matches, with an average of 2.6 goals per match.

Critically analyzing the momentum of both teams, I'm predicting an open game, with lots of opportunities to score by both teams, yet with a slight advantage to Tigre to win due to playing at home.
