Tigre are 27th in the league and look like they are in real trouble and things may not be helped by turning to an inexperienced manager to try and get them out of trouble. Tigre managed just one win in the opening 12 games and five draws. They ended the year in terrible form after losing their last three matches.
Banfield are 16th but they are better than that ranking suggests when they have a fully fit team. They finished 5th last season which shows the quality they have. They have a full squad to choose from for this game, including their main forward Cvitanich. When he was fit and playing for the first seven games they got 11 points from seven matches but when he was injured in was just four points from five matches. Like Tigre, they ended the year with a run of three defeats.
With Cvitanich back I expect to see Banfield climb up the league table and I can see that starting in this match. He has already found the net this year in one of the friendlies Banfield have played, so he will come into the game with some confidence. Banfield were much shorter at the bookmakers when the odds opened than they currently are and I think the bookmakers had it about right to begin with before the movement so I'm happy to side with them here on the Asian handicap. I think Banfield have more than enough to win but Tigre have managed to nick draws so far this season, therefore we are covered in the event of a draw.
