Tigre has been struggling to find their footing since the departure of Mateo Retegui to Genova. Especially from Blas Armoa up top. However, today the striker should see some chances and be able to deliver for Tigre. Additionally, Matias Tagliamonte will need to step up in a big way today in net. Against Racing Club, in their 3-0 defeat, he came up with six saves. Although they conceded two early goals, Tagliamonte kept them in the game through his efforts.

Despite being on the backfoot a lot during their latest game this team has a lot of potential. Even against what will likely be a good Racing Club squad, Tigre looked dangerous. Especially on set pieces, this team is due to find the back of the net themselves.
Boca Juniors
Goals Scored: 1
Goals Conceded: 1
Fouls Committed: 22
Passes Attempted: 998
Total Saves: 3
Boca Juniors is a side that is looking to get themselves going. Unfortunately, they will be without the services of Edinson Cavani as he has a muscle injury. Also, Marcos Rojo continues to show up on the injury report. This comes despite rumors of him receiving interest in joining Lionel Messi in Inter Miami, however, he intends to play out the final year of his contract. But he is not expected back into the starting role anytime soon due to an internal calf tear.

Kevin Zenon is someone who can potentially provide a spark for this squad. The winger has impressed and looked dangerous in advanced positions. Of course, Miguel Merentiel is coming off of a game in which he scored a beautiful goal. He remains a threat up top but will look to be scoring at a more consistent level.
Game Prediction
Ultimately, Tigre looks to be the safer option at this point in the campaign. While Boca Juniors have more points at the moment, this will probably not hold up. Especially without Cavani, the dynamic options up top are limited. By contrast, Tigre has been playing well and will be looking to play a more positive attack style. As mentioned earlier, it’s hard to see them go a third straight game without scoring.
Therefore parlaying the over with Tigre +0.5 makes the most sense. The most likely outcome is a 1-1 draw, but why risk it? Tigre winning is very much on the board, but with both teams struggling, it’s unlikely either side will be able to separate themselves from each other.
Final Pick
Parlay: Over 1.5 with Tigre +0.5
