Struggling Veracruz will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Tigres UANL in the upcoming league round. It’s 19th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Tigres UANL have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
