Velez Sarsfield to have the edge?
Vélez Sarsfield are the bookmakers’ favourites to take the points on Tuesday, but the Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre odds of 2.04 are too low when compared to the 3.65 that has been placed on Tigre and the 2.75 about the draw, despite both teams entering the Liga Profesional 2025 on 0 points and 30th and 28th respectively.
Our Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre prediction takes into account that it’s not a bad result at that price and there is a draw about this one, but the hosts probably have the better chance of winning as they attempt to build upon a run of 1 win and 1 draw from their last 2 home games.
They have had some difficult opponents to face recently in what has been a busy calendar for Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who has managed to steady the ship after taking over in March 2025.
He has instilled a renewed focus on possession and build-up play.
Velez can be methodical in their approach and will have to be patient against a compact and direct Tigre side.
Nicolás Bogado, who is a good technician and possesses great composure on the ball, is usually the driving force and orchestrates the flow of the game from central midfield.
Tigre will get on the front foot when they can
Maher Carrizo leads the line and has scored three of his side’s last five goals, while Leandro Figueroa is a steady backstop who has made crucial saves to keep the opposition at bay. According to this Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre prediction, Velez have been involved in some tight fixtures lately, so they will have to be disciplined and patient in order to break through.
Tigre are more of a direct side who will play in a pragmatic manner under Diego Dabove, who has been in charge since January 2025.
Ignacio Forlín is a strong defender who is good at tackling, while Agustín Cardozo is a creative force in the centre of the pitch. He is adept at getting forward and is a master at breaking the play at the right time, often initiating counter-attacks.
Tigre’s latest results feature a 2-1 away defeat to San Lorenzo and a 2-0 home win over Banfield.
The Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre betting tips suggest that Lorenzo Scipioni is Tigre’s danger man up front and has bagged 2 of Tigre’s last 4 goals. He is a clinical finisher and is making the most of his chances.
Tight game expected
There is no real bad blood between these two clubs, but there is certainly a contrast in philosophies. This Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre preview suggests that this game has more to do with a clash of styles than rivalry, although there is a healthy respect between the clubs and their fans.
Tigre won the reverse fixture, which was played at home five months ago, by a 3-0 scoreline. But that game is in the past and these teams are more evenly matched in form at the moment.
The final Velez Sarsfield vs Tigre prediction is that it’s very likely that the Under 2.5 goals market at 1.32 will be a profitable play for the bettor, but we’re going to side with the visitors on the double chance, as they seem to be better set up to do a professional job on their opponents.
