The managers M. Herrera and Ricardo Ferretti are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Liga MX league table.
It's no vacation for neither América nor Tigres UANL as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Tigres UANL have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
