Nervous top table cliff-hanger in Liga MX as Tigres UANL have come the 497 miles necessary to meet Guadalajara at their Estadio AKRON.
- Guadalajara have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Tigres UANL have the most scored goals in the second half (16) in Liga MX
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Tigres UANL have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 3-1-1 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
It's quite the trip for Tigres UANL when visiting Guadalajara as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
