3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Tigres UANL, who have the most scored goals (26) in Liga MX, playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Tigres are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Tigres UANL, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Leon.
