Tigre take on the visitors Libertad Asuncion in the second leg of Copa Sudamericana playoffs round 1/16-finals. First leg result: 1-2. The match will be played on Friday, July 21st at Estadio José Dellagiovanna (Buenos Aires).
Tigre feel disappointed for missing out on a draw in Paraguay. "Matadores" made it back to the top division of the country only in 2021, and they surprised everyone in the previous Primera Division by finishing in the 7th position, quite impressive for a league newcomer. Currently, Retegui and his team are struggling, which was somewhat expected. Nevertheless, in the Copa Sudamericana, the Argentine team managed to secure the 2nd place in their group, only losing to São Paulo. Last week, they opened the scoring in Asunción but later conceded twice, including one in the 88th minute.

Libertad remain one of the top teams in national football. "Los Repolleros" have already added another trophy to their rich collection this year by winning the Apertura-2023. It marks their 23rd championship title. However, in the new season, not everything has gone smoothly, especially in the Copa Libertadores, where the results were only satisfactory. There, "Gumarelo" collected 7 points, with a significant portion earned from Atlético Mineiro, but it was only enough for the 3rd position in the group. As a result, the team moved to the Copa Sudamericana, where they narrowly avoided an upset, securing a decisive victory with a goal from their 40-year-old captain, Oscar Cardozo.
Previous matches between the two teams took place exactly 10 years ago in the Copa Libertadores. At that time, they exchanged away victories. Tigre was not inferior away, and they should aim for maximum at home. Let's bet on the Argentine team to win in the second leg, which is a home match.
Prediction for the match: Tigre to win.
