The home side currently stands in 24th place, with 3 points accrued from 10 wins, 2 draws, and 9 losses. In their penultimate match, Racing lost at home to Estudiantes (0-1) and drew against Boca Juniors (1-1) in their last match.

Their attack has shown regularity, scoring in 7 of their last 10 competitive fixtures. However, the trend in their home matches leans towards few goals, with 6 of the last 10 ending below 1.5 goals. Of note, in 21 games, Racing have turned the scoreboard only twice after conceding first in the 10 instances this occurred. The latest home fixtures reveal a disappointing start; having secured only one victory, they need to adopt a bolder approach against the strength of Tigre.
Team analysis: Tigre
The visiting team occupies 20th place, having amassed 4 points with 9 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses. They drew (0-0) with Unión Santa Fe in their penultimate match and suffered a home defeat against Huracán (0-1) in their last outing.

Notably, the most common score after the first 45 minutes has been 1-0, seen in 4 of their 10 matches. Defensive solidity has not been their strong suit, as they’ve conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 games in this competition. Out of 21 matches, they were the first to concede on 9 occasions, managing to turn the score around only once. A lack of consistency has hindered Tigre’s performance at this juncture. Following a recent stumble against Huracán, they will need an immediate response to keep pace with the top of Group A. A reactive approach may be pivotal in surprising Racing at the Presidente Perón stadium.
