Club Atlético Tigre Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Felipe Zenobio; Nahuel Banegas, Nehuén Paz, Gian Nardelli, Martín Garay; Agustín Cardozo (c), Santiago González; Tomás Galván, Gonzalo Maroni, Blas Armoa; Facundo Ferreyra

Club Atlético Tigre have had a slightly disappointing start to this season’s campaign. 21 games in and they sit in 18th place with six wins, seven losses and eight draws. Those results have left them with 26 points, three points away from as high as 10th place, so a win in this match will be crucial for Defensa y Justicia.

El Matador have been in great scoring form as of late. Striker Florián Monzón had grabbed himself six goals in the league but unfortunately he is out injured for the rest of the season with a cruciate ligament tear. The next best players for Club Atlético Tigre have been Gonzalo Maroni and Blas Armoa who have found the back of the net three times each. Either one of them could be the difference makers to help Tigre take all three points come the full time whistle.

Defensa y Justicia Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Enrique Bologna; Alexis Soto, Lucas Ferreira, Emanuel Aguilera, Tobías Rubio; César Pérez, Kevin Gutiérrez; Kevin López, Aarón Molinas, Rodrigo Bogarín; Abiel Osorio

Defensa y Justicia have had an awful season compared to their two second place finishes across the last five years and last season’s sixth place. 21 games in and they sit in 25th place with five wins, nine losses and seven draws. Those results have left them with 22 points, the highest they could climb with a win in this game is 25th. That isn’t too far up the standings, but Defensa y Justicia will be aiming for that nonetheless.

El Halcón have struggled with goal contributions. Attacking midfielder Aarón Molinas has racked up seven, split into five goals and two assists. The next best for goal contribution stats is Gabriel Alanís with four. He however is not expected to start. Him and Molinas are Defensa y Justicia’s best hop in keeping them in the fight this Monday.
