Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Tigres UANL in 8th and Guadalajara in 10th place.

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Guadalajara have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-14-13 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.

It's quite the trip for Guadalajara when visiting Tigres as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Tigres UANL form and stats

Tigres UANL must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Liga MX games here at Estadio Universitario de Nuevo León.

The home team returns to Estadio Universitario de Nuevo León after being equal after 90 minutes with Mazatlan (placed 16th) on their last time out; the Liga MX game ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Pumas UNAM.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Tigres handle that role? We have found seven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are four wins, two draws and one defeat.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Tigres UANL as they are travelling to their away game against León in the Liga MX. That match is four days after this one.

The Tigres fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. 3 goals have been conceded.
