Betting on Deportes Tolima
In its latest match against Junior de Barranquilla on matchday 14 of the Colombian First Division, Deportes Tolima suffered a 1-0 defeat, which extended its winless streak to two matches. With these results, the pijaos currently hold the 9th place in the league.
Hernán Torres’ team has not been consistent in the local tournament. However, in its debut in the Copa Sudamericana, it did its job against Puerto Cabello, winning 2-0. Thanks to goals from Diego Herazo and Yeison Guzmán, Deportes Tolima took home the three valuable points on the road. For now, it is leading Group D and hopes to continue this good performance in the upcoming Deportes Tolima vs Tigre match.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Christian Vargas; Léider Riascos, Julián Quiñones, Anderson Angulo, Junior Hernández; Juan Ríos, Cristian Trujillo, Estéfano Arango, Yeison Guzmán, Facundo Boné; Diego Herazo.
Betting on Tigre
Tigre currently holds 14th place in the Argentine tournament with 16 points, thanks to 4 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses. The team, coached by Diego Martinez, has a goal difference of -1, and has been unbeaten for 4 consecutive games. So, the season has been decent for the Buenos Aires team, but it hasn’t managed to stay in the top spots.
In fact, in its last match against São Paulo, the Matador lost 2-0 due to Erison Danilo Souza’s fantastic performance in the 57th and 74th minutes. A touch of magic from the extreme was enough to seal the game. This Deportes Tolima vs Tigre match is another opportunity to show that Martinez’s process is on the right track, and that the team can dream of qualifying for the next stage.
Possible Lineup (4-3-1-2): Gonzalo Marinelli; Lucas Blondel, Emanuel Aguilera, Abel Luciatti, Lautaro Montoya; Alexis Castro, Sebastián Prediger, Aaron Molinas; Lucas Menossi; Mateo Retegui, Facundo Colidio.
JefeBet Prediction
Both clubs are currently in similar positions in their tournaments. However, Deportes Tolima has the advantage as it landed the first blow in the previous matchday, and has the support of its home crowd. It’s likely that Torres’ team will come out strong from the start with the confidence of its solid defensive lines led by Julián Quiñones.
Tigre, which isn’t great at holding onto results, will be cautious not to risk losing more points. Nevertheless, the team has players who can make a difference in scarce opportunities. Based on what both teams have shown so far in the Copa Sudamericana, at JefeBet, we believe that the points will be split between Deportes Tolima vs Tigre.
Prediction: Tie (TOL 2-2 TIG).
