Deportes Tolima vs Club Atletico Tigre Prediction: Both Teams Likely to Share One Point Each

In the upcoming fixture of Copa Sudamericana, Matchday 2, Deportes Tolima will take on Club Atletico Tigre at the Manuel Murillo Toro Stadium in Ibagué. Deportes Tolima started the continental tournament with a win against Academia Puerto Cabello (0-2), whereas Tigre lost to Sao Paulo (0-2). Tolima and Tigre will be meeting for the very first time on the football field. With Tolima playing at home, the odds are likely to favor the Colombian side to win. 

Deportes Tolima - Coming off an Unexpected Defeat Against Junior FC (LLWWD)

Despite starting off the continental championship with a win, Deportes Tolima’s struggle in the local Colombian Categoria A continues. At the moment, Deportes Tolima stands 9th with 4 wins and 18 points. Hernan Torres will have concerns regarding the team’s performance in the Colombian circuit; however, the continental action might have Tolima winning another win. In the last five matches played, Deportes Tolima has scored 7 goals, averaging 1.40 goals per game. In the match against Puerto Cabello, Diego Herazo and Yeison Guzman scored goals and are likely to contribute in the upcoming matchup as well. 

Expected Opening Lineup for Deportes Tolima

Christian Vargas; Léider Riascos, Julián Quiñones, Anderson Angulo, Junior Hernández; Juan Ríos, Cristian Trujillo, Estéfano Arango, Yeison Guzmán, Facundo Boné; Diego Herazo.

Club Atletico Tigre - Coming off a Goalless Draw Against Union (DWDLW)

Going in the matchup, Tigre is coming off a goalless draw against Union, in which Cristian Zabala, Blas Armoa, and Sebastian Prediger were given a go in the second half of play. With 2 wins, 2 draws, and a defeat in the last five matches played, Tigre is certainly facing consistency issues. Talking about scoring, Tigre has scored 4 goals in the last five matches, averaging just 0.80 goals per game. Tigre will be dreaming of making it through to the next round of Libertadores. However, the dream might not correspond to Tigre’s recent match form. 

Expected Opening Lineup for Atletico Tigre

Gonzalo Marinelli; Lucas Blondel, Emanuel Aguilera, Abel Luciatti, Lautaro Montoya; Alexis Castro, Sebastián Prediger, Aaron Molinas; Lucas Menossi; Mateo Retegui, Facundo Colidio.

Expert Betting Tips

Both sides demonstrate quite similar performances in their respective Primera Division table standings. Deportes Tolima will have the advantage of playing at home and is likely to play a little defensively, with Julian Quinones being the main figurehead. On the other hand, Tigre has just been defeated once in the last five matches played. Therefore, I am predicting a draw, with both teams scoring at least a goal. The match total is likely to be over 2.5 goals, and the final scoreline to be 2-2.
