Velez Sarsfield v Tigre

WIN 1-2
Argentinian Torneo Final, 12.05am
£20, BTTS, 2.10.
£20, Over 2.5 goals, 2.20.

Two bets from the Argentinian league tonight, both reliant on goals. Velez haven't been the most score free side in the league, indeed they are normally about as dull as you can get preferring a more defensive approach. But I feel that they need to press on and try and win some points as they are languishing near the bottom. This may force their hand into playing a more attacking game, especially at home.

Tigre on the other hand, away from home most certainly, like to try their arm out. They have a 3.8 goals scored and conceded combination away from home, with 80% of matches resulting in over 2.5 goals. They don't just shut up shop against the big teams either, as they have a 3-1 loss and a 3-2 loss to Newells and River Plate respectively.

Either way, if Velez try and play a counter game and get the first goal then Tigre won't stop. And if Tigre score the first, then Velez will have to come out of their shell. Really looking forward to this.

ANALYSIS

Plenty of cards and action. Tigres were pretty much them to a tee away from home, looking to attack early on. They got the goal then contained for a little. Velez were fortunate with a penalty which prompted another push from Tigres for 2-1. Velez should have scored with 15 minutes left when their striker missed from two yards out. Velez had the possession and territory but Tigres were well worth the points being far more direct than their more cautious opposition.
