Tigre vs Alianza Atletico Preview
This Copa Sudamericana group stage clash is a fascinating encounter between two sides who have already met earlier in this campaign, sharing a 1-1 draw at Alianza Atletico’s ground.
Tigre will be hoping their home advantage makes the difference this time around, while Alianza Atletico travel to Argentina having struggled badly for goals in recent outings. Neither side has been particularly convincing, setting up what looks like another tight and competitive fixture.
Tigre Inconsistent at Home but Capable of Finding the Net
Tigre have been a mixed bag in this competition and their home record reflects a side that can both win and lose on their own patch. A solid 2-0 home win over America de Cali was their standout home result, showing real attacking intent, though a frustrating 0-1 home loss to Macara before that highlighted defensive vulnerabilities that Alianza could look to exploit.
Their overall form has been similarly patchy. A 1-1 away draw at America de Cali in their most recent outing and a 2-2 away draw at Macara before that show a team that scores goals but struggles to win consistently. Tigre will be looking to use this home fixture to finally string together a more convincing performance.
Alianza Atletico Toothless in Attack and Running on Empty
Alianza Atletico have been dreadful in front of goal throughout this Copa Sudamericana campaign and their recent results make for concerning reading. A 0-0 away draw at Macara in their last away outing was a frustrating but perhaps honest reflection of their attacking limitations, and a 2-1 away loss at America de Cali before that showed how easily they can be undone defensively on the road.
At home, things have been no better. Back-to-back home defeats of 0-2 to both America de Cali and Macara paint the picture of a side completely devoid of goals and ideas. Alianza have now failed to score in three of their last four Copa Sudamericana outings, making them extremely difficult to back offensively in this fixture.
Tigre vs Alianza Atletico Prediction
A draw feels like the most realistic outcome here given both sides’ tendency to cancel each other out and their prior 1-1 result in this competition. Tigre have enough quality to avoid defeat at home but may struggle to break down a stubborn Alianza side at 5.00 odds.
Despite Alianza’s poor attacking record, Tigre have shown they are capable of conceding and both sides have found the net in multiple recent fixtures. Both teams to score looks like a worthwhile market to back here at 2.50 odds.
A 1-1 draw feels like the most natural correct score given the pattern between these two sides and the tight, low-scoring nature of their encounters in this competition so far at 10.00 odds.
