Tigre will pray that their home comfort is enough to get at least a draw from this hard battle, versus passionate Platense.

Insights:
  • Platense have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These are hustling days for the hosts, as they had a match only four days ago in the Superliga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Patronato.
