LA Galaxy vs Tigres UANL Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts fell prey to Tigres the last time both sides met.

The LA Galaxy are set to host Tigres UANL in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup 2025 quarter-final fixture. The Los Angeles Galaxy made a comeback in the round of 16 of the competition, which helped them get to the last eight. The visitors, on the other hand, defeated FC Cincinnati.

This will be a home fixture for the Galaxy and they will have an advantage for the same. During the round of 16, they lost the first leg but came back with full force to win the second leg with a good attack rate. They defended well, too. They did not concede more than a single goal.

Tigers UANL will be low on confidence as it will be an away fixture for them. This can cause some problems for them. Both the Galaxy and Tigres have a good attack rate, but they will have to focus on their defence to get a positive outcome and an advantage before going into the second leg.

Players to Watch

Gabriel Pec (LA Galaxy)

He was one of the goal scorers during the LA Galaxy’s win in the Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 second leg fixture. Gabriel Pec has the potential to create problems for the attacking front. He might emerge as the game-changer for his side, as the 24-year-old will be looking to step up here.
