Belgrano can outlast Tigre on road trip
Belgrano can extend their winning streak to 6 games when they travel to face Tigre on Thursday. Piratas are fresh from their 2-1 win at home to Rosario Central that kept them flying in the Clausura and Ricardo Zielinski's men have found some rhythm in the attacking third, where Nicolas Fernandez has hit 3 goals in 5 games and Franco Vazquez has supplied 3 assists.
Their guests come into this game having lost 1-0 away to Estudiantes Rio Cuarto and 1-2 to Club Nacional de Montevideo at home, both of whom are in their own conference, so it's not been an easy start to 2026 for Diego Dabove's side. Tigre stand 26th in Liga Profesional – Clausura 2026 with 0 points from 1 game played, while Belgrano are 7th with 3 points from their opening 1 game.
Zielinski has Piratas playing as a single unit
Form:
Tigre have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 overall, while Belgrano have won 5 of their last 5, so the visitors will be licking their lips at the chance to take on what should be a weak home side. Tigre haven't won any of their last 3 home games against Belgrano, so the visitor's will know how to spoil the party on Thursday.
Odds & Tactics:
The draw is certainly in the picture, but we'll take Belgrano to find a way through and get the 3 points.
- Belgrano are rightful favorites here at 2.9, but Tigre's odds of 2.72 and the draw at 2.8 both look a little too big.
- Backing Under 2.5 goals at 1.4 and Both Teams to Score — No at 1.6 also appeals as Zielinski has Belgrano playing patient and balanced in all thirds of the field right now.
- Dabove sets Tigre up to play with a compact mid-block, but they will look to pounce in transition and this game will be about counter-punching rather than running rampant.
