Racing Club vs Atletico Tigre Prediction: Can Racing Register its First Win of 2023 Liga Professional?

In the upcoming fixture of the Argentine Primera Division, Matchday 3, Racing Club will take on Atletico Tigre at the Estadio Presidente Perón in Avellaneda. Racing Club is still finding its first win of the season, whereas Tigre has started an unbeaten run and stands 10th with a win and 4 points. For the upcoming matchup, Racing Club will be missing Juan Caceres due to the red card suspension. The upcoming match is likely to be a competitive one, with both sides looking to dis-regard the previous encounters against each other. However, the last time these two played each other, Racing won 2-3. 

Racing did end the previous season on a high, but so far in 2023 it has been unable to win a single contest so far. With Racing playing at home, it will be an opportunity for the hosts to register a win, as they haven’t won at home in the last two home matches. In 24 matches, Racing averages 1.17 goals per game against Tigre, which is quite acceptable even though the last outing resulted in a 2-3 win for Tigre. However, the last time Racing took on Tigre in Liga Professional, the match ended in a draw (3-3). Talking specifically about the home stats, Racing averages 1.50 goals per game in the last 10 fixtures at home, whereas the conceding rate is just 1.10 goals per game. Hence, Racing can certainly dominate Tigre and rise up in the ranks of this season.

Going in the game against Racing, Tigre is coming off a defeat against Centro Espanol (4-5) on penalties. The defeat has certainly spread shockwaves in Tigre’s dugout, and Deigo Martinez will be concerned about Tigre’s performance in upcoming fixtures. Tigre averages 1.33 goals per game against Racing in the last 24 matches played between the two. Hence, we can expect Tigre to score at least a goal. Talking about game possession, Tigre has recorded an average of 49% possession in away fixtures, which clearly depicts that Tigre has the ability to neutralize the home opposition. In previous 10 away fixtures, Tigre averaged 1.60 goals per game, whereas the conceding rate is just 1.10 goals.

For the upcoming fixture, if we draw our conclusion based on the scoring and conceding averages of the two competing teams, then Tigre is doing quite better. However, Racing has dominated Tigre in the last three meetings. The last three meetings have resulted in a goal total of over 2.5 and both sides to score. Hence, I am predicting both sides to score and the game total to be over 2.5. I will back Racing to win and register its first win of the season (2-1).

• Racing Club to Win for 2.10
• Total Over 2.5 for 2.07
• Correct Score 2-1 for 8.50
