It's no vacation for neither Tigres UANL nor Pachuca 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.

Pachuca 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.
