Racing Club sit fifth in the Liga Profesional Argentina Clausura after two matches, having won one and drawn one to accumulate four points. Tigre, by contrast, have played just one match and are yet to open their points account, placing them 13th in the 30-team table. The gap between the two sides currently stands at four points.
Racing Club are in the top third of the table. From their last five matches, they have taken three points, with their most recent outing ending in a 2-1 defeat to Rosario Central.
Tigre have also taken three points from their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw with Rosario Central, and Sunday's match will be only their second of the current Clausura campaign.
The most recent head-to-head meeting between the two sides saw Tigre defeat Racing Club 3-1, a result recorded on 2 February 2026. That result sits in the background as both sides look to build momentum in the early rounds of the Clausura.
Kick-off at Racing Club's ground is set for 20:00 UTC on Sunday, 2 August 2026.
