Patronato host to Tigre at the Estadio Presbitero Bartolome Grella on Wednesday in round nine of the 2022 Argentine Primera Division season.
The teams head into the contest off the back of victories in their respective last matches, and they will be looking to pick up where they left off.
Patronato managed to pick up their first away win of the campaign as they defeated Central Cordoba SdE 3-1 at the Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades on Friday.
A first-half goal from Sebastian Medina and a Jonathan Herrera brace sent Mario Sciacqua’s side into a three-goal lead inside the opening hour, before Deian Veron pulled one back later on.
As a result, Patronato have climbed to 15th place in the league standings, and are now separated from the top half only by goal difference.
Having seen their five-game home unbeaten run come to an end in their last encounter at home, Patronato will be keen to return to winning ways.
Next up is an opposing side who have enjoyed the better of this fixture, winning two of the previous three meetings between the teams.
Meanwhile, Tigre put an end to a run of six matches without a victory through a 2-1 victory over Estudiantes at the Estadio Jose Dellagiobvanna on Monday.
El Matodor opened the scoring in the 17th minute through Mateo Retegui before Facundo Colidio doubled the lead two minutes into the second half, with Pablo Piatti’s goal not enough to cause a comeback.
Having picked up nine points from their eight matches so far, Tigre have now moved up to 18th place in the league standings, two points adrift of the top half.
Tigre currently boast the joint second-worst defensive record away from home, and they will need to keep it tight at the back to stand any chance of securing a victory.
