Tigre Preview
Tigre could not have had a better start to its journey in the Professional League. In the first matchday, they overcame a tough obstacle, defeating Estudiantes 2-1 in La Plata, with two goals from Mateo Retegui, who was the top scorer in 2022.
The team coached by Diego Martínez has no injuries or suspensions for this upcoming match against Rosario Central, so he will line up the same 11 players that won the first match.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Gonzalo Marinelli, Lucas Blondel, Víctor Cabrera, Brian Luciatti, Sebastián Prieto, Sebastián Prediger, Lucas Menossi, Blas Armoa, Facundo Colidio, Alexis Castro, Mateo Retegui.
Rosario Central Preview
Rosario Central also got off on the right foot with a 1-0 home win over Argentinos Juniors. From that match, it is worth highlighting the performances of players who did not have a great 2022, such as Gaspar Servio, who had 7 saves in the 90 minutes; the center back Juan Cruz Komar; and their center forward, Jhonatan Candia, who scored the only goal in Rosario.
The players that are in doubt for Friday’s match due to physical problems are Candia (replaced at the 43rd minute of the first half), Carlos Quintana (who fell badly in a ball dispute during the first half but resisted until the end), and Fabricio Oviedo, who was replaced a few minutes into the second half.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Gaspar Servio, Juan Cruz Komar, Facundo Mallo, Kevin Silva, Damián Martínez, Kevin Ortíz, Francis Mac Allister, Alan Rodríguez, Ignacio Malcorra, Luca Martínez Dupuy, Octavio Bianchi.
JefeBet Prediction
We are looking forward to a vibrant encounter. Both teams have met 44 times in the professional era, with 20 wins for Tigre and 17 for Central (they have drawn 7 times).
When the goalkeeper is the star, it is because things at the back did not go so well, and it seems that Central has some adjustments to make in that area. Because of their good moment, and because their goalscorer is on fire, we believe that Tigre will take the three points.
Prediction: Tigre wins 2-0.
