Missing Key Men, Tigre and Belgrano Look Set to Share the Points

Tigre midfielder Bruno Leyes has not recovered from a shoulder injury and will miss this match.

Belgrano attacking midfielder Franco Jara? No, the suspended player is Franco Vasquez, who was sent off in the last game and is unavailable here.

For Tigre, there are no suspensions and no major doubts, but Bruno Leyes is out with a shoulder problem and Roman Arias is sidelined with a knee injury.

Belgrano are without suspended playmaker Franco Vasquez, while Federico Ricca and Juan Velazquez are both out with muscle injuries.

The recommended pick is a draw.

Tigre bounced back in their last outing with a 3-1 away win over Racing Club, responding well after opening the campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto. However, they had rotated their lineup in that first match to rest key players for South American competition. Back on home soil, Tigre will look to build on that improved display.

Defending champions Belgrano lost 1-0 at home to Argentinos Juniors last time out, ending a seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions in which they had recorded five wins and two draws. The dismissal of Franco Vasquez deprived them of a key creative force, so they will need to adjust their setup as they try to take points on the road.

Tigre will aim to carry the momentum from their previous win, while Belgrano bring title-winning experience and defensive solidity. With both sides missing important players, neither looks a clear favourite, and a draw appears the most likely outcome.

Head-to-head, the teams have drawn all of their last four meetings in all competitions.
