CA Tigre vs Racing Club Predictions

Sunday’s Superliga Argentina crunch clash sees Tigre playing host to Racing Club. A very open game is expected to be in order with nothing but maximum points the target for both teams.

An excellent run of 4 wins from the last 5 matches has given Tigre the faintest of hopes of avoiding relegation but with a home game against Racing here and trip to River Plate to come, the side are still well up against it. The pressure is really on the hosts coming into this game, as anything but a win could see them relegated if Patronato pick up any kind of result in their fixture.

Tigre have been playing very well in recent weeks, but still need a miracle to avoid the drop. They’ve been going into games all guns blazing for 3 points and that’s resulted in both teams scoring in 13 of their last 14 games, meaning we should be in for an exciting game on Sunday evening, with no change in their approach expected.

Meanwhile, Racing arrive just as desperate for the win and if they get it, they’ll be crowned champions. Nonetheless, if they fail to get them the pressure will really be on if title rivals Defensa win, with the two sides set to meet on the final day in what would become a winner takes all showdown.

Racing have been excellent for the vast majority of the campaign and have played some excellent football under Eduardo Coudet. Nonetheless, they have looked a little nervy in recent weeks and will have to maintain their cool here. Last time out, they only edged past Belgrano fortunately by a 1-0 margin and having drawn away at Colon and beaten Estudiantes 1-0 prior to that game, they’re not blowing away teams as they previously were.

Ultimately, this should be an excellent watch and an intense, fast paced game is almost certain. Neither team can afford to drop any points and both will look to pile men forward from the off in search of victory.

Backing both nets to be hit simply has to be the way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is exactly where our money is going. An average of 3.57 goals per game have been scored over Tigre’s last 14 league matches and with both nets having been hit in 4 of Racing’s last 5 away games, we should be in for a relatively high scoring game, with a 2-1 margin of Racing victory on the cards.
