This is why it will be one of matchday 8’s main attractions of the Argentine First Division League.
Arsenal is in a dramatic situation, and if it does not change course, the team will be heading for the second division by the end of the season. Tigre, on the contrary, is a team that usually puts on good shows and is very competitive.

Betting on Arsenal
Arsenal’s start to the tournament has been disconcerting. Although it knew it was going to fight for a stay in the category, the team scored an unexpected victory against River at the legendary Monumental. However, the Sarandí team is not strong at home, where it has yet to win: it drew with Estudiantes, and lost to Racing and Belgrano.
But that’s not all: out of the five goals Arsenal has scored in the tournament, only one was scored at home. Another aspect to take into account is the defensive aspect, since Arsenal couldn’t manage to get a clean sheet in none of the seven games played.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Alejandro Medina; Lucas Souto, Maximiliano Centurión, Joaquín Pombo, Adrián Sporle; Tiago Banega, Felipe Peña, Braian Rivero; Lautaro Guzmán, Luis Leal, Santiago Toloza.
Betting on Tigre
Coach Diego Martínez seems to have lost his way in a Tigre team that has had very good seasons under his command, and that started with illusion this year. However, the latest results have not been satisfactory. The team has two consecutive defeats, has lost three of its last four games. In fact, the team didn’t even score in those lost games.
However, Tigre has one of the goalscorer of last season and of the current tournament, Mateo Retegui, who has 6 goals. For the over/under 2.5, Tigre is balanced in that aspect: on three occasions, its matches were below that number of goals, and they were above it on four occasions.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Gonzalo Marinelli; Víctor Cabrera, Sebastián Prediger, Víctor Aguilera, Sebastián Prieto; Lucas Blondel, Cristian Zabala, Lucas Menossi, Aaron Molinas; Mateo Retegui, Facundo Colidio.
JefeBet Prediction
Tigre seems to have lost confidence, and Arsenal does not make promises at its stadium, where it was once strong. Everything is set for a draw that will certainly not leave either team satisfied.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
