Their recent away dominance against Club Nacional, winning 3-0, contrasts sharply with their inconsistency at home, where they have won only twice in the last five games.

Prediction

Considering the recent form and statistics, the prediction leans towards a competitive match with both teams having the potential to score. The most likely outcome appears to be Tigre not losing, supported by River Plate's poor form and Tigre's resilience. The prediction is that Tigre will secure at least a draw, with their recent form and home advantage playing pivotal roles.

For betting enthusiasts, backing Tigre to avoid defeat seems prudent.
