Libertad vs Tigre Prediction and Betting Tips | July 13, 2023

Libertad entertain Tigre at Estadio Defensores del Chaco in the Copa Sudamericana on Thursday (July 13).

The two sides haven't met since clashing in the Copa Libertadores group stage in 2013, with Tigre dominating Libertad. The hosts failed to qualify for this year’s Copa Libertadores Round of 16, leading to their drop to the Copa Sudamericana.

Gumarelo Repollero got back to winning ways last weekend following a four-game winless streak across competitions. They have impressed at home, winning three of their last clashes. Libertad topped the Paraguayan Primera División first tournament and are second in the final stage.

Tigre, meanwhile, finished second in Group D of the Copa Sudamericana group stage to qualify for the knockout round playoffs. The Argentine side were hoping to clinch a direct passage to the Round of 16 but lost the top spot to Sao Paulo. The Brazilian team achieved a near-flawless run to top the group with 16 points.

With three matchdays to end the 2023 Argentine Primera División season, El Matador sit in 19th place, which is below continental qualification. Last season, they finished seventh to secure qualification for the Copa Sudamericana. Tigre may not return to the competition next year if things stand as they are.
