Prediction

A continual focus on Sarmiento's defensive structure has paid dividends for Israel Damonte as his side are back to doing what they do best - keeping clean sheets.
Five clean sheets in the last seven matches with only River Plate and Rosario Central breaking through the backline, Sarmiento are well placed to steer clear of relegation trouble which seemed a long way away at the start of the campaign.
Tigre's form continues to tail off at the wrong time with back-to-back defeats putting them right back in the picture for relegation - particularly in the average table.
A lack of consistent firepower continues to cost Tigre but they have also leaked five goals in two matches at the back as well.
