River Plate vs Tigre Match Preview
The Millonarios will have a last chance to improve its performance in this disappointing season, and considering the team will be fighting for the category in the next Clausura every single point matters. This will be a preview of what next year's fight will be like, for Tigre will be clearly a rival for the category, and a victory over Victoria's tigers will open a four point gap from Miguel Angel Cappa's team. Eagerly expecting some reinforcements during the winter, team's coach will be showing its expertise on the fields once again, for since Cappa's arrival River's situation completely changed, obtaining nine points in the last four matches. This brilliant team's present has much to do with Ariel Ortega's return to the fields, having even wore Argentina's National Football Team shirt after many years, and once again his skills will probably give the Millo an edge on this week's match at the Monumental.
Caruso Lombardi will be having its last shot for the upper half of the positions table, for the poor results obtained during the last weeks relegated the tigers to the 13th position. River is standing only one point above their heads, and thus it depends only on themselves to make the most out of this year's tournament, for the category will have to be fiercely defended the next season. Having lost the last five matches played, Caruso's boys need to end the tournament with a victory to recover their spirit, though a single victory will not dispel the clouds that appeared over Victoria's sky a month ago. Tigre holds the fourth weakest defense in the tournament, having received 26 goals in 18 matches, and without some defensive modifications it will be tough to stand against River's savage blows. Team's top striker Carlos Luna will have to experience the solitude of the offensive venturing into the wilderness of River's back line, to claim the three points for the Matadores.
