The final stage of the Argentine First Division is close and the teams have different needs and dissimilar objectives in these circumstances.
South American soccer fans will enjoy a duel like Tigre vs Independiente, in which one has been a real revelation for several years now, with an always attractive game and surprising achievements; the other is a sleeping giant, which in recent years has been plunged into an institutional and sporting crisis that does not seem to have an easy solution in the short term.
Tigre, which will be at home in this match of match day 24 to be played on Sunday, October 9, is looking for a victory that will enable it to enter the zone of teams that will qualify for the next Copa Sudamericana.

Tigre Preview
Tigre has a very good technical director, Diego Martínez, who has given the team a clear identity of associated and offensive play. A seal that the fans enjoy and that allowed them to be finalists of the Copa de la Liga, which they lost this year to Boca Juniors.
Although they have not been on the way to the top positions in this tournament, El Matador wants to win in order to get into the Copa Sudamericana. It is coming from a 2-2 draw against Sarmiento de Junín, and always finds it hard to beat Independiente. The last time they beat them on their home field was in 2008 (1-0).
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Gonzalo Marinelli; Lucas Blondel, Brian Leizza, Abel Luciatti, Sebastián Prieto; Lucas Menossi, Ezequiel Fernández, Alexis Castro; Blas Armoa, Mateo Retegui, Facundo Colidio.
Independiente preview
Independiente is going through a painful situation, which does not match its rich history of victories (it is the maximum winner of the Copa Libertadores, with 7 conquests). The institutional present is very bad, despite the fact that it has new management. This translates into a bad current sporting situation: it is a team that does not fight for anything.
It is coming off a tough home loss to Central Córdoba, which snapped a four-game winning streak. And he is dogged by injuries in a squad that is very short: Lucas Romero, Leandro Fernández, Facundo Ferreyra and the youthful Vallejo are some of those affected.
The last time Independiente won in Tigre’s territory was in 2013: 2-0. Since then they have only played on that field once, in the 2017/2018 season, when they drew 1-1.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Milton Álvarez; Álex Vigo, Sergio Barreto, Juan Manuel Insaurralde, Édgar Elizalde; Damián Batallini, Iván Marcone; Lucas González, Alan Soñora; Tomás Pozzo, Leandro Benegas.
JefeBet Prediction
Tigre’s good moment and the clear idea promoted by its coach will be key to defeating an Independiente that has few resources and a very poor performance, which is demonstrated day after day.
Prediction: Tigre wins 2 to 0.
