Points have been hard to come by for Colón so far, and the same description fits Tigre. The bottom dwellers would trade their mothers for some much needed points here.
- Colón have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Colón form and stats
The story so far in the Superliga for Colón at their home stadium (Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López) is 3 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats. When Colón hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Huracan, Instituto, Gimnasia La Plata, Independiente, Colón, Arsenal de Sarandi, Velez Sarsfield, Banfield and Union Santa Fe), they have won 2 of 3 matches!
Stress levels are on the rise for Colón's attacking players as they have now played 401 minutes without scoring in a league game. Meza was their last goal scorer.
In their previous game, the manager Gorosito led his Colón to a defeat away at Argentinos Juniors. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Farías for missing a penalty kick versus Argentinos Juniors in the 60th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
Before that, Colón drew at home versus Belgrano.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Colón have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 18 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 8 and lost 5.
It should be taken into account that a peek at the 12 most recent league matches reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Colón as they are travelling to their away game against Arsenal de Sarandi in the Superliga. That match is four days after this one.
On the other hand, Colón have conceded 16 goals. Colón has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Tigre form and stats
There's been little loot from Tigre's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 13 away games in the Superliga. Tigre only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Copa Sudamericana home defeat versus Libertad with 0-1 on the scoreboard.
A loss against Barracas Central was the result prior to that, in a Superliga home game.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tigre playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were 4 Tigre wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Tigre are hosting San Lorenzo in the Superliga only four days away.
The attacking power of Tigre when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Tigre have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's four Colón victories, two draws and three Tigre wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
