Prediction published on 17/06/2022, 22:44  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Tigre and Banfield haven’t had dream starts to the second phase of the Argentinian top flight. They face off in the fourth game tied on four points but Banfield’s better goal difference places them in 11th place, while Tigre are 15th. Tigre will host this game and will be out to bounce back after suffering another heavy loss at the hands of Boca Juniors. A 5-3 away loss to the giants means they have managed just one win inside 90 minutes in the last five games. It was the second time in four matches that they lost to Boca Juniors, and it was also the second time in five matches that they conceded three or more goals. Twice in the last three matches, Tigre have scored two or more goals and they’ve only failed to score in one of their last five matches. In 19 home matches, they’ve suffered just one loss – 2-0 to Boca Juniors.

Banfield are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Tigre, winning two, and in the last five meetings, they have only suffered one loss. They will really need this run of form against Tigre, and they warmed up for this game with their first win of the second phase. Banfield beat central Cordoba SdE 2-1 at home in the run up to this game; that was their first win in nine matches. They are still struggling in defence though, with just one clean sheet in the last 10 matches. It has been tough for them on the road; they are winless in six straight away matches, though they have registered draws in each of the last three away games. Four times in six away matches, they’ve failed to score and in the last 10 away games, they haven’t managed more than a goal in any.
