Tigre, the current runner-up in Argentine football, will receive Banfield this Sunday in the continuity of the fourth round of the Professional Soccer League with the mission of recovering from the defeat that Boca inflicted on him during the week for 5 to 3 in La Bombonera, in a key duel in the fight for qualification for international cups.
The match will be played from 13:00 at the “José Dellagiovanna” stadium in Victoria, with arbitration by Andrés Merlos and broadcast on television by ESPN Premium.
Victoria’s “Matador” has four points at the start of the national tournament which began with a victory in Santa Fe over Union (2-1), then a local draw against Barracas Central (1-1) and last Wednesday the defeat in the Bombonera that he suffered against Boca in a match in which he committed serious defensive failures.
Their rival, Banfield, started in reverse, with a local defeat to Newell’s (2-1), a draw in Sarandí with Arsenal (0-0) and just sang the win last night at home to Central Córdoba to Santiago del Estuary (2-1).
