Deportes Tolima and Tigre get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Sudamericana Group Stage fixture.
The hosts Deportes saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Liga BetPlay. Thankfully the previous game, versus Junior, was also a home game here at Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro. The away team is better rested. It's no vacation for neither Deportes Tolima nor Tigre as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Deportes Tolima form and stats
Deportes Tolima have played 7 Liga BetPlay games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Deportes's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Junior. Nieto (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.83/10. Nieto hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 46 successful passes (of 53 total).
A Liga BetPlay defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Envigado.This is expected to be a close game, with Deportes Tolima perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Deportes Tolima as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Deportes Tolima has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.
Deportes are traveling soon after this match as the Liga BetPlay match at Boyaca Chico awaits in three days.
Deportes Tolima are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games.
Tigre form and stats
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Union Santa Fe in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0. Goalkeeper Marinelli made a total of six saves, making him a hero against Union Santa Fe. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Marinelli (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.71. Marinelli topped it up with a clean sheet.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Sarmiento.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 16 similar matches played by Tigre in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Tigre, 8 draws and 5 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Tigre are hosting Huracán in the Superliga only four days away.
