Tigre’s biggest competitive edge comes from their rock-solid home defense. Across their five home fixtures this season, they have recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, conceding only 2 goals in total. That averages out to a mere 0.4 goals against per game, putting them among the teams with the best home defensive records across the league. They set up in a very compact, well-drilled shape on their home turf, and can effectively squeeze space to limit scoring opportunities against sides with mediocre attacking quality. That said, the side is in abysmal recent form, currently on a four-game losing streak in the domestic league. They lost 1-2 away to Argentinos Juniors in their most recent fixture, shipping 8 goals in total across that four-match losing run, leaving the squad’s morale at a major low. On top of that, starting center back Arias is sidelined with injury, while midfielders Simón and Dubetzaski are also ruled out, which has significantly reduced the squad’s depth across
