Preview: Tigre vs. Banfield - prediction, team news, lineups

sportsmole.co.uk, 17 June 2022, 21:30
Looking to bounce back from a defeat last time out, Tigre play host to Banfield at the Estadio Jose Dallagiovanna on Sunday in round four of the 2022 Argentine Primera Division.

Meanwhile, the away side head into the game in search of consecutive wins having picked up a first victory since April in their most recent outing.

Match preview

Tigre came away empty-handed from a 5-3 clash against Boca Juniors in Thursday's encounter at the Alberto Jose Armando Stadium.

Diego Martinez's men had no answer to Exequiel Zeballos and Dario Benedetto, as both players grabbed two goals apiece to settle a thrilling affair in Buenos Aires.

Having picked up four points from a possible nine to start the new season, the Northern Blues currently sit 15th in the league table, albeit only three points off league leaders Estudiantes.

Lying in store next is the task of facing off against an opposing side who have only lost one of the last five meetings between the teams since 2014.

Unbeaten in 19 of their last 20 home matches across all competitions, Sunday's visitors will fancy themselves to get the job done and come out on top this weekend.

Banfield saw off the threat of a highly-spirited Central Cordoba outfit in a narrow 2-1 triumph at the Estadio Florencio Sola on Wednesday.

Diego Dabove's men broke the deadlock early on thanks to Alejandro Cabrera before conceding a second-half equaliser to Jose Amado Gomez, only for Giuliano Galoppo to decide the game from 12 yards with less than 10 minutes left to play.

El Taladro are 11th in the league table as it stands, level on points with their next opponents, who they lead only on goal difference.

With no wins from their last seven games away from home, Sunday's visitors have it all to do in this one as they set out to get going on the road.
