On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, a match of the 14th round of the Argentine Professional League will take place in Buenos Aires, featuring Tigre and Belgrano. Let's consider a bet on goals scored in this encounter.
Tigre
Tigre occupies 4th place in Group A with 24 points. The team has scored 17 and conceded 11 goals. Despite their high position in the standings, the squad is going through a rough patch: in the last two rounds, they lost consecutively, first at home to Newell's Old Boys with a score of 0-2, then away to Barracas Central 0-1. In both matches, Tigre failed to score.
Previously, the team secured victories against Defensa y Justicia 2-1 in the championship and confidently defeated Berazategui in the Argentine Cup 3-0, which allowed Tigre to advance to the Round of 16 of the tournament.
Looking at their home form, Tigre has won three and lost two of their last five home matches.

The visitors approach the upcoming game in decent form. In their last five matches, they suffered only one defeat—at home to Boca Juniors with a score of 0-2. Notably, Belgrano has consistently scored in all these encounters.
