A run of reliable displays from the Cruz Azul defenders has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 3 from their previous 6 clashes overall. During the same time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 2. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, however.

📋 Team News: Tigres

The Tigres boss Miguel Herrera has zero fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this clash with a completely healthy squad available to choose from.

In our view, Los Tigres should line up in a 3-4-2-1 system in the match, handing starts to Nahuel Guzman, Hugo Ayala Castro, Guido Pizarro, Jesus Angulo, Jesus Alberto Duenas, Juan Pablo Vigon, Rafael Carioca, Javier Aquino, Carlos Gonzalez, Luis Quinones and Andre-Pierre Gignac.

🗞️ Team News: Cruz Azul

From a largely available group of players, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Cruz Azul manager Juan Reynoso to be concerned about. Carlos Rodríguez (Fissure of the fibula) won’t be playing here.

There’s a good chance that La Máquina Azul seem likely to utilise a 4-4-2 lineup with a starting lineup of S. Jurado Roca, Juan Escobar, J. Cesar Dominguez, Luis Abram, Adrian Aldrete, Carlos Antuna, Ignacio Rivero, Erik Lira, Cristian Tabo, Santiago Gimenez and Angel Romero.

🧠 Prediction

It looks to us that Tigres de la UANL can and should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the other end, Cruz Azul may well struggle to score themselves but do we see them scoring here as well.

Our tip is for a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Tigres de la UANL when all’s said and done.
