Tigre, Recent FormTigre manager Diego Martínez will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Racing Club. They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Racing Club's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Martínez will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 16 games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at The Estadio José Dellagiovanna and recording 3 wins in that same period.
On an individual basis, Mateo Retegui will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Tigre's last 6 league games.
River Plate, Recent FormRiver Plate enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 home win over Argentinos Juniors last time out in the league. They came away from that fixture with a 50% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Argentinos Juniors, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
Manager Martín Demichelis will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
They have had an excellent run of form away from home recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games on the road.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for River Plate, Miguel Borja will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
The last 4 matches between Tigre and El Millonario show that Tigre have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
When playing at home in the league, Tigre have failed to win any of their last 8 meetings with River, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
There is only really one injury concern for the Tigre manager Diego Martínez ahead of this clash, with Victor Cabrera (Calf) missing out, which gives Martínez a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Martín Demichelis has a number of injury concerns in his River squad to contend with: Nicolás de la Cruz (Knee), Paulo Díaz (Meniscus), Elías López (Cruciate ligament), Emanuel Mammana (Hamstring), Matías Suárez (Knee) and Bruno Zuculini (Cruciate ligament)
