Velez Sarsfield and Tigre are closely matched
There is no historical hatred between these two clubs but this Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre preview promises to be a compelling encounter as both sides seek their first win of the new season.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto took over as Vélez Sarsfield’s manager in March 2025 and has restored the club’s identity of being a possession-based, forward-thinking side.
Nicolás Bogado is a technical midfielder who can dictate tempo.
Leandro Figueroa has been a rock at the back and his crucial saves have preserved points for his side in a run of one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five matches in all competitions.
Maher Carrizo, who has scored 3 of their last 5 goals, is in good form in front of goal. For our Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre prediction, both teams are expected to play cautiously, looking for an opportunity to break the deadlock.
Tigre will try to counter-attack and frustrate
Diego Dabove has been Tigre’s manager since January 2025 and has done a fine job with the limited tools at his disposal. His flexible and pragmatic system is designed to frustrate opponents, with the side being compact out of possession and transitioning into quick counters when they win the ball.
Lorenzo Scipioni is their most dangerous forward with 2 of their last 4 goals, but he has been well served by a midfield that creates chances in the final third. Agustín Cardozo is key to their quick transitions, playing an impressive range of accurate passes that are always aimed at taking the game to the opposition.
Ignacio Forlín is solid and dependable at the heart of Tigre’s defence, using his tackling ability and positional intelligence to break up attacks. This Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre prediction also takes into account recent form, with Tigre losing 2-1 on the road to San Lorenzo and beating Banfield 2-0 at home in their latest two games. Additionally, analyzing the Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre odds will help bettors assess value in the markets.
Velez Sarsfield can just nick it
Tigre’s form has been slightly better than Vélez Sarsfield’s with one win, three draws and one defeat in their last five in all competitions. They beat their opponents 3-0 at home in the last head-to-head fixture, five months ago in the Liga Profesional 2025.
But Vélez Sarsfield come into the match-up as favorites and at +104 are a tad overpriced in the win market compared to Tigre’s +265 odds, with the draw priced at +175. We believe the hosts can nick this game, but it is likely to be a closely-fought affair, so for the best Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre betting tips, we are taking Under 2.5 goals at -312 as our main bet.
