Late night Monday action from the best league in the world.
Tigre were knocked out of the last 16 of the Copa Libertadores in midweek when they lost 2-0 away to Olimpia and it seems to have a feeling of "end of an era" for this small club. They have been over achieving these past two years - challenging for the league last season, reaching the final of the Copa Sudamericana and then reaching the last 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Not a bad achievement for the club that has been in the 2nd and 3rd Divisions mostly for the past few decades.
But they need to start picking up points in the league or they will be in trouble again in the Averages table next season.
After resting players against Racing last week, the regulars will return for Tigre.
With Newell's dropping points this weekend, Lanus can go joint top tonight with a win. Remember goals don;t count in Argentinian football, if they finish tied there will be a play off to determine who the champions are.
Lanus have stumbled a bit of late and were very poor last week in the 0-0 draw at home to Indepeniente despite playing a lot of the game with 10 men. Chavez will replace the suspended Pizarro in midfield and that should make Lanus more attacking. And striker Blanco will be dropped tonight after some iffy performances. He will replaced by young and talented Benitez.
I can't help but think Tigre's Libertadores elimination could take some time for them to get over. They had to start their season earlier than most in January. Plus they had to play in the Libertadores right from the qualifying rounds. To put it into context Tigre have had to play 10 more games this season than Lanus. They have a small squad and they are missing their best player in Ruben Botta.
Lanus have been nowhere near as good as they were earlier in the season but they are still undefeated and they have extra motivation after Newell's dropped points at the weekend.
A win puts Lanus joint top tonight and I expect them to achieve it. Not from their recent performances. But mainly because Tigre will be tired, disheartend and disjointed.

Nice write up.
My angle is goals in this game and think Over 2.5 is worth a go at near 6/4.
Just think the odds are too big and the reverse fixture did finish 4-1.

Good luck SirFresh. Remember Botta is out for Tigre and he is their best player and a very good striker. But if Tigre score 1st the game will open up as Lanus will have to go for it
might not be alot of shots yet but there is plenty of gapts in tigre back 4 u can see it
The best league in the world is the premier division you idiot.
maybe, lanus are creating chances, should be 1 up just now
Another good opportunity wasted.
Could do with a goal before half time.

Tigre started the better side, Lanus dominating now but their finishing is ****. Hopefully Tigre are running out of steam after their Libertadores exploits.
another terrible decsion infront of goal last 20 mins could have been 3 or 4 2 lanus
think lanus will still win and i think over 1.5 will come in 2-0 for me so many chances tigre were tiring alot 2wards the end of the half
as much as I want to see a goal I just cant see either of these donkey teams managing to score!!
Argy football like a spider web. May look interesting but when you get caught in it you're screwed. lol
Lol @ Horangi
Over 1.5 is the bet now I think. Hoping for tired defensive mistakes from Tigre.

And the spider is like the one from Lord of the Rings. Pisses around for hours without doing anything where it actually hurts.

very small bet on o0.5 now, will regret this, cmon boys, up lanus, drive one home!
I'd love to know how long the ball is actually in play for in these Argie games
only one 0-0 in last 11 meetings, might be time for another.
Lanus play some decent stuff, quick meaningful passing, ability to beat defenders 1 v 1.
just missing last ball or finish im sure lanus will score
overs @50's 15 mins left, i'm tempted to squander 2 quid
Never getting involved in an Argie game ever again
Unspeakably bad

Hows that not a free kick either? Getting **** all off this ref.
can't help but noticing on these argie threads that the first 2 posters are so enthusiastic about a win or overs and then never post again 
surely they're not trying to mislead us
