Racing Preview
Racing started this new season on the wrong foot. The team coached by Fernando Gago has yet to win, something it did not achieve in either of its first two matches. La Academia drew 0-0 against the recently promoted Belgrano at the Cilindro, and lost 1-0 against Argentinos Juniors playing away.
It continues to suffer from the same problems they had during last year. The most worrying problem is the lack of goals, especially because they generate numerous chances in every game. With this in mind, Gago will make several changes for the match against Tigre.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Gabriel Arias; Iván Pillud, Leonardo Sigali, Jonathan Galván/Gonzalo Piovi/ Emiliano Insúa, Gabriel Rojas or Gonzalo Piovi; Juan Nardoni or Jonathan Gómez, Aníbal Moreno, Maximiliano Moralez; Matías Rojas, Maximiliano Romero, Gabriel Hauche or Jonathan Gómez.
Tigre Preview
Tigre, for its part, beat Estudiantes in La Plata in its official debut (2-1) and drew 2-2 at home against Rosario Central on the second matchday.
Unfortunately, not everything is great news for the visiting team, since it was eliminated by penalty kicks against Centro Español in the first matchday of the Copa Argentina, a modest team that today plays in the Primera D. Although the defeat was from the penalty spot, and despite the fact that El Matador clearly deserved to win the match, it is still a hard blow for Diego Martínez’s team.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Gonzalo Marinelli; Lucas Blondel, Víctor Cabrera, Brian Luciatti and Sebastián Prieto; Sebastián Prediger and Lucas Menossi; Blas Armoa, Facundo Colidio and Alexis Castro; and Mateo Retegui.
JefeBet Prediction
Racing needs to win, and the adjustments made during the week are aimed at generating even more risk in front of the opponent’s goal. Besides, Tigre arrives after a hard blow and more tired than Racing. That is why, at JefeBet, we believe that the three points will stay in Avellaneda.
Prediction: Racing wins 2-0
