Tigre vs Sarmiento Junin

Tigre host Sarmiento Junin in Liga Profesional Argentina on Saturday 7 November 2026 at the Monumental de Victoria (José Dellagiovanna) in Buenos Aires, with the visitors looking to end a four-match winless run. The hosts enter the contest in 11th place in Clausura Group B with 16 points from 15 games, five points behind eighth-placed Sarmiento Junin.

Tigre missing Dubersarsky, Arias, and Rivero

Tigre will be without three players through injury, as Nicolás Dubersarsky, Ramón Arias, and Simón Rivero have all been ruled out. That leaves the home side managing defensive and midfield adjustments following a 2-0 away win against Huracan on 30 October 2026. Prior to that victory, Tigre had failed to win in four straight league matches, including consecutive home defeats against Banfield (1-2) on 10 October 2026 and Atletico Tucuman (0-1) on 24 October 2026.

In attack, Tigre lean on Ignacio Russo, who leads the squad with eight goals in all competitions this season. Chance creation figures also show steady output for the hosts: over their last five matches with chance data, Tigre generated 1.44 expected goals per game while allowing only 0.85.

Sarmiento Junin winless in four league fixtures

Sarmiento Junin arrive without a victory since their 3-1 away win over Aldosivi on 9 October 2026. Since then, the visitors drew 1-1 against River Plate and 1-1 with Barracas Central, before suffering consecutive defeats: 0-2 away to Gimnasia L.P. on 23 October 2026 and 1-2 at home to Rosario Central on 31 October 2026.

The visitors travel without Carlos Villalba and Jhon Rentería, who are both sidelined with injuries. Their attack relies heavily on Junior Marabel, who has scored 14 goals across all competitions this season. However, Sarmiento Junin have struggled defensively on the road, where they hold a record of three wins and four losses with 14 goals conceded in seven matches. Across their last five outings with chance data, they have produced 1.09 expected goals a game while conceding 1.55.

Two goals across three past meetings

Recent encounters between these sides have been low-scoring affairs. Across their last three head-to-head fixtures, the teams have combined for just two goals. Sarmiento Junin took a 1-0 victory in their most recent meeting on 25 April 2026. That followed a 0-0 draw on 18 August 2024 and a 1-0 win for Tigre on 14 April 2023.
