The first of two encounters in the CONCACAF Champions League Quarter-finals, as the hometeam New York City will try to edge Tigres UANL in their own ballpark.
The hosts New York City saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Major League Soccer. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Toronto.
It's quite the trip for Tigres UANL when visiting New York City as the cities are 3300 kilometers apart.
New York City form and stats
New York City has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager R. Deila and the players.
I. Tajouri was the last player to score a league goal for New York City and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as New York City haven't scored in 201 minutes.
The fans are hoping that New York City will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Major League Soccer game against Toronto. A Major League Soccer defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Columbus Crew.
New York City's goalkeeper S. Johnson was extremely busy against Toronto, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how New York City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won seven times, drawn four and lost two.
The match schedule is unforgiving for New York City as they have a new game in only three days, a Major League Soccer match thankfully also at home. Dallas are visiting.
Tigres UANL form and stats
Tigres UANL's mission in CONCACAF Champions League last season failed in the finals against Monterrey.0-1-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Tigres UANL in their Liga MX matches away.
Tigres UANL have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Nahuel Ignacio Guzman. It's been 189 minutes since they last conceded in Liga MX.
Tigres UANL has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Puebla for a Liga MX game that ended a draw (0-0). A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Pumas UNAM.
Tigres UANL are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and three defeats. From a total of six matches.
