Defensa y Justicia vs Tigre Match Preview

Defensa Justicia and Tigre will meet for the last 16 of the Argentinian Cup. The game will take place at the neutral Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo in La Plata. If there is no winner in the regular time, there will be no extra time, the penalty shootout will follow. The winner will face the winner from the pair Godoy Cruz-Racing Club.

Defensa Justicia played on more draw in the league, as after that vs Arsenal Sarandi they had a 1-1 draw with Central Cordoba at home. Thus, the team of Sebastián Andrés Beccacece remained undefeated for the fifth consecutive game. Now they turn their attention to the cup where they look to stand out. F. Paredes and T. Cardona are both Injured and remain out of action. Walter Bou will be on their front line.

Tigre comes from two consecutive victories. After that against Deportivo Maipou with 0-4, they also won 2-0 against Agropekuario. So, they remained at the top of the Primera Nacional standings and their main goal is to return to the first division. For the last 32 of the cup competition, they surprised everybody and overcame the obstacle of Independiente, at the beginning of August. They will play once again offensively for the best possible result against a side that plays in the top level of Argentinian football.

Defensa Justicia has the upper hand against Tigre. They definitely saw what Tigre can do in the previous round (they eliminated Independiente) and have to play strong in order to qualify. The home side to win at 2.25 odds is my pick in this one.
