Match Preview
Barracas Central is enduring a difficult season, currently languishing at the bottom of the Argentine Primera standings with 20 points from 24 matches. However, their recent 1-0 victory over Argentinos Juniors provided a brief respite amid an otherwise bleak campaign. Offensively, their struggles are evident, having netted just three goals in their last five outings—a glaring indicator of their attacking frailty.
Even their leading striker, Alan Cantero, has managed only four goals this season, offering little reassurance. Defensive woes persist as well, with six goals conceded over the same span, averaging 1.25 per game—a statistic demanding urgent improvement.
Tigre, on the other hand, sits in 17th place with 30 points after 24 rounds. Their recent goalless draw against Instituto marked a step forward, halting a string of poor results. Notably, Tigre has scored only once in their last five matches, underscoring their offensive inefficiency.
Florian Monzón remains the linchpin in attack with six goals, but his fellow forwards have struggled to find the net with consistency. While their solid defense has helped them scrape points, achieving a better balance between offense and defense will be crucial for climbing higher in the standings.
Probable Lineups
- Barracas Central: Mino, Zapraro, Sanchez, Demartini, Brochero, Milos, Rosane, Insua, Duarte, Tapia, Bruera
- Tigre: Zenobio, Banegas, Paz, Arias, Garay, Cavana, Gonzalez, Cardoso, Galvan, Maroni, Sontin
