Estudiantes vs Tigre: Match preview
Estudiantes finds themselves in a challenging position. With two rounds remaining in the regular season, the team is in seventh place on the table. They have 20 points after 14 matches, and the gap from ninth place is just one point. As mentioned, with two rounds to go, they need to stay focused and give their all to reach the playoffs. A few days ago, Estudiantes defeated Botafogo in the Copa Libertadores. However, in the Primera Apertura, the team hasn't won in six consecutive matches—this streak needs to be broken.
Tigre is in a more comfortable situation than Estudiantes. The team has already secured a spot in the Apertura playoffs. After 14 matches, Tigre has 25 points and a six-point advantage over ninth place. Despite this, the team's form leaves much to be desired: a three-match winless streak. Nonetheless, Tigre has lost only one of their last five away matches, winning the rest. Therefore, Tigre has good chances in this match.
Probable lineups
- Estudiantes: Mansilla, Arzamendia, Rodriguez, Nunez, Mesa, Medina, Ascacibar, Neves, Palacios, Carrillo, Tobio Burgos
- Tigre: Zenobio, Paz, Lazo, Banegas, Ortega, Saralegui, Cabrera, Scipioni, Medina, Gonzalez, Russo
Prediction
Estudiantes has much more motivation as they continue to fight for a playoff spot, unlike Tigre. I believe that after their Copa Libertadores victory, Estudiantes can secure a home win. My bet is on an Estudiantes victory in this match with odds of 1.88.
