Argentina Pro Liga teams Club Atletico Platense and Tigre will meet on Saturday at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente Lopez. Both clubs are looking to end their current poor runs of form in the Liga.

Platense lost four of their last six matches, including a recent fixture against Argentinos Juniors, 1-0. The team collected 23 points from 19 matches this season in the division. Platense are currently 14th in the league standings.

Tigre are 16th in the standings after 19 fixtures. They failed to win each of their last six matches and are on a two-game losing streak in the division. Tigre took 22 points from their opening 19 matches.

They limp into the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente Lopez for Saturday’s fixture.

These clubs met twice last season in league and cup fixtures. Tigre won both matches by a combined score of 7-0.

Tigre are in their second consecutive season in the Argentine top flight this season and results have been good so far.

There is still room for improvement. Manager Diego Martinez will seek to end the team’s recent winless streak.

The club played in the Copa Sudamericana in midweek, winning 2-1 against Puerto Cabello. Striker Mateo Retegui leads Tigre in goals with 10. No other Tigre player has scored more than two times.

Tigre lost their last two road games going into the match. They were outscored 12-9 in their 10 previous away fixtures. Forward Ijiel Protti is out of action with a ruptured Achilles tendon injury. Martinez has no further injuries to worry about.

Platense are led by former Argentina international Martin Palermo. The team go into the weekend on the back of two straight home wins. Sixteen of Platense’s 23 points have come from playing at home this season.

Striker Nicolas Servetto leads Platense in goals with six. The team has tallied 20 total goals and conceded 24 times.

Right-back Nicolas Morgantini is a doubt to play the match following a fractured nasal bone. He is the only injury concern for Palermo.

Tigre’s form going into the game is a worry for Martinez. The team simply cannot win in the league, although the club posted a win in the Copa Sudamericana in midweek.

The 1-1 scoreline is the third-most common score in the Pro Liga. It has occurred 11.03% of the time this season.

Tigre should stay unbeaten against Platense, as the teams finish in a 1-1 draw. The match should see a lack of goalscoring, which is different from their two previous encounters.
