Argentinos Juniors

Current form
Argentinos Juniors failed to please their fans with successful results last year. The team finished the regular season only in 23rd place out of 28, having scored 30 points in 27 matches. The club also managed to score only 22 goals, becoming one of the least productive participants in the elite league. Apparently, the hosts plan to continue to be cautious this year, since in the first match of the Apertura, Nicolas Diez charges played a goalless draw with one of the most famous Argentine clubs, Boca Juniors (0:0). Before that, the capital club played a match in the Rio de la Plata Series, where they beat Uruguayan Juventud with a score of 3:1. The match with Tigre will be the team first home match in 2025, so the hosts will try not to let their fans down.

Tigre

Tigre spent the previous calendar year only slightly better than today opponent. The club took only 18th place in the regular championship, ahead of Argentinos Juniors by only four points. Nevertheless, the team managed to start the Apertura with a great result. In the first round, the team hosted the current champion, Velez Sarsfield. It is not surprising that the guests were considered the clear favorites, but Tigre unexpectedly won a big victory with a score of 3:0. In the first ten minutes, the home team forward Ignacio Russo scored a double. The bright victory allowed the guests to rise to third place in the standings. Only Banfield and Independiente Rivadavia, who have already played in the second round, are ahead. In case of victory, Diego Dabove charges can draw level with the leader.

1.62Tip and bets
The hosts managed to avoid defeat in the first round, but were unable to score. In the upcoming match, they will have to face Tigre, who scored three unanswered goals against the current champion. It will be difficult to beat such an opponent, and the visitors have lost only one of their last six away matches. The last face-to-face match was won by Tigre, although Argentinos Juniors played at home. We believe that the visiting team has a better chance of a positive outcome, so we will give it preference.
Our prediction is Tigre will not lose at 1.77
Bet on total
The hosts are betting on defense. Last year, the team scored an average of less than one goal per match. The match with Tigre will probably also be cautious, as evidenced by the history of personal meetings - in three of the last five matches, the total was not broken. We think that the opponents will stop at one or two goals scored.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.55
Bet on corners
We believe that the teams in this match will rely on defense, so we are unlikely to see a large number of corners here. It is worth betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.63
