Estudiantes Río Cuarto vs Tigre: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Río Cuarto managed to win the playoff in the Primera Nacional last season, earning promotion to the top division. However, once there, they posted by far the worst result in the Apertura: just one win and a couple of draws, and an early exit from the cup as well.
The team from Victoria finished ninth with 49 points, according to tiebreakers. This earned them a spot in the Copa Sudamericana, where they advanced to the playoffs, taking second place in their group from América de Cali by tiebreakers (both had nine points). They managed a resounding 3-0 win over Uruguay's Nacional. However, in the cup, they narrowly lost 0-1 to Independiente Rivadavia. In the Apertura, they were limited to 20 points and failed to reach the playoffs.
The newcomer sits at the bottom of the table for a reason: only 0.31 goals scored per game against 1.5 conceded. Their opponent from the capital's suburbs looks better: averaging 1.13 goals scored and 0.94 conceded per match.
