Tigres UANL vs Houston Dynamo Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Leagues Cup 2025

Los Tigres secured a win when they last met La Naranja.

Tigres UANL are ready to battle Houston Dynamo FC in the league phase of the 2025 Leagues Cup. Shell Energy Stadium is all set to witness an interesting contest between the two teams.

Tigres UANL are the visiting side. This might keep them under some pressure here. Los Tigres have started their Liga MX 2025-26 on a positive note, as they have won both of their league games.

UANL are looking in good touch and, despite being away from home, expect them to come out with a tough fight against La Naranja.

Houston Dynamo will be at home, and they will be looking to use it to their advantage. Their MLS 2025 campaign is not going well as they have only been able to win seven matches after contesting in 24 league games this season. La Naranja will be looking to step up here as they might face a hard challenge.

Gabriel Segal (Houston Dynamo)

In the absence of Ezequiel Ponce, Gabriel Segal will have an important role to play in the final third for the Houston Dynamo. The 24-year-old has only been able to score a couple of goals in the ongoing Major League Soccer season. He will be looking to step up here, as La Naranja will have to come up with a better attack rate.
