Argentinos Juniors aim to end a five-match winless run when they host Tigre this Sunday in matchday 11 of the Torneo Clausura 2026. The game will be played at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Córdoba, kicking off at 19:15 and broadcast live on TNT Sports Premium.
The side come into this fixture following a 1-0 defeat to Rosario Central on 20 September. Their recent form is a concern, with zero wins, three draws, and two losses in their last five outings. They urgently need three points to stay in touch with the qualification spots for next year's international competitions.
The Clausura 2026 landscape
The Clausura tournament, alongside the Apertura, determines the Annual Table which allocates places for the 2027 Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana. Argentinos Juniors compete in Zone B, alongside clubs like River Plate, Racing Club, and Tigre. Each team plays 16 matches in this regular phase, with the top eight from each zone advancing to a single-legged knockout stage.
For El Bicho, every point is key. Their victory over Aldosivi in late August was their last win. A look at the squad list highlights the need for key figures like Gastón Verón, who scored in the 1-1 draw with Gimnasia La Plata, to lead the attack.
Match details and officiating
Andrés Gariano will be the match referee. The game will be played in Córdoba, a neutral venue set for a tactical battle between two sides in need of a boost. Tigre are also struggling in the table, meaning both teams will be desperate for victory.
A positive result would give Argentinos Juniors much-needed confidence for the final stretch of the championship, where places in the next round are decided.
The team has a clear opportunity to change their momentum. With the fixtures schedule ahead, a win against Tigre would provide the perfect boost. Kick-off is at 19:15 on Sunday 4 October at the Kempes.
