Tigre v Vélez: in-form sides clash at Monumental de Victoria | OneFootball

Tigre and Vélez will face each other this Tuesday, starting at 7:45 PM, at the José Dellagiovana in Victoria, for Matchday 10 of Zone A of the Apertura.

Tigre and Vélez Sarsfield will star this Tuesday in one of the most attractive matches of the tenth round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament, when they meet in Victoria in a clash that brings together two of the best-performing teams so far in the championship.

The match will be played from 7:45 PM at the José Dellagiovanna Stadium, will be refereed by Leandro Rey Hilfer, and will be broadcast on ESPN Premium.

The clash features two of the tournament’s main contenders: the “Matador,” who are runners-up in Zone B, and the “Fortín,” who lead Zone A with authority.

Tigre wants to regain ground

The team managed by Diego Dabove is having a good tournament, although in their recent outings they have not been able to maintain the consistency they showed at the start.

In their last two matches, Tigre earned just one point: they lost 2-1 away to Barracas Central and then drew 2-2 against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in Victoria.

Despite this slight dip, the Matador remain second in Zone B with 15 points, just two behind leaders Independiente Rivadavia. A win against Vélez would allow them, at least temporarily, to climb to the top of the group.

Vélez, solid and unbeaten

On the other side will be a Vélez team that is in even stronger form. The team led by Guillermo Barros Schelotto tops Zone A with 18 points and remains unbeaten in the competition, a status shared only with Defensa y Justicia.

In the last round, the Fortín secured a significant victory by defeating Estudiantes de La Plata 1-0 in La Plata, a result that consolidated their leadership and positioned them as one of the main contenders for the championship.

If the Liniers side manages to take all three points at the José Dellagiovanna, they will not only maintain their lead in Zone A but also widen the gap over their pursuers, including Estudiantes and Unión de Santa Fe.

With two leading teams going head-to-head and ambitious goals at stake, the clash in Victoria promises to be one of the highlights of the Apertura matchday.

Probable lineups for Tigre and Vélez

Vélez: Álvaro Montero; Joaquín García, Emanuel Mammana, Lisandro Magallán, Elías Gómez; Manuel Lanzini, Imanol Machuca, Lucas Robertone, Claudio Baeza; Tobías Andrada, Florián Monzón. Coach: Guillermo Barros Schelotto.

Time: 7:45 PM.
