Match preview
Tigres is one of the strongest clubs in Mexico, having won the CONCACAF Champions Cup five years ago. Domestically, the team has stumbled a bit, collecting only 1 point in the last two matches, slipping to the sixth position.
In the Champions Cup, Tigres maintains a strong chance of reaching the semifinals, having already defeated Esteli and Cincinnati. Notably, in the next stage, the team might face fellow countrymen — America or Cruz Azul.
Last season, the Los Angeles club claimed the MLS title for the sixth time in its history. Galaxy holds the record for the most wins in this league.
The start of the new season has been frankly poor for the team: only 2 points in seven matches and last place in the Western Conference standings. The team's only victory this season was in the Champions Cup Round of 16, where they crushed Herediano 4-1. This was enough to advance to the next stage.
Match facts
- Tigres has won their last three home matches.
- Galaxy has yet to win away this season.
- Tigres scores an average of 1.8 goals per game at home, while Galaxy scores an average of 0.8 goals per game on the road.
Probable lineups
- Tigres UANL: Guzmán, Angulo, Sánchez, Joaquín, Lainez, Brunetta, Aquino, Carioca, Antuna, Fontes, Ibañez.
- Los Angeles Galaxy: McCarthy, Yamane, Garcés, Paintsil, Zanka, Cerrillo, Parente, Nelson, Fagúndez, Peck, Ramírez.
H2H
The first leg in the USA ended in a 0-0 draw.
Prediction
Galaxy is in terrible form, and bookmakers do not believe in their advance to the semifinals. Tigres is the favorite, but I suggest betting on the guests with a +1.5 goal handicap.
