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

Tigre and Vélez will face off this Tuesday, starting at 7:45 p.m., 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 kick off at 7:45 p.m. at the José Dellagiovanna Stadium, will be refereed by Leandro Rey Hilfer, and will be broadcast on ESPN Premium.

The match 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 led by Diego Dabove is having a good tournament, although in their most recent outings they haven’t managed to maintain the consistency they showed at the start.

In their last two matches, Tigre picked up 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 managed by Guillermo Barros Schelotto leads Zone A with 18 points and remains unbeaten in the tournament, a status shared only with Defensa y Justicia.

In the last round, the Fortín secured an important 1-0 victory over Estudiantes de La Plata 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 keep the lead in Zone A, but also widen the gap with 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 p.m.
