Tigre vs. Sarmiento Torneo Clausura 2026 playoff push, Digi Mart USA News: Sarmiento will visit Tigre at José Dellagiovanna Stadium at 10:00 p.m. local time for Round 16 of the Torneo Clausura 2026.
The Victoria club has no chance of qualifying, while the Verde controls its own destiny and will look for a win that would secure a place in the round of 16.
Sarmiento arrives after a tough home loss to Rosario Central, in which Santiago Salle and Renzo Orihuela were sent off. Both players will miss the decisive match.
Coached by Facundo Sava, Sarmiento sits eighth in Zone B, and a win would guarantee a place in the round of 16. A draw or defeat would leave the team waiting on the result of Huracán.
Tigre comes off a 2-0 win over Huracán at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó. However, a run of five consecutive defeats between Rounds 8 and 12 damaged its qualification hopes, and the club has been eliminated from the top eight of the zone.
Gonzalo Requena said after the win over Globo: “El Chimi reminded us of many things during the week and we felt comfortable.” Juan Carlos Blengio, the interim coach, took charge after Diego Dabove resigned following the defeat to Atlético Tucumán.
Referee Gonzalo Pereyra will oversee the match, which is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. local time and broadcast on ESPN Premium.
Sebastián Habib will serve as VAR.
