⁠Tigres UANL vs New York City FC Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Leagues Cup 2024

The home team have never lost to the Pigeons.

Tigres UANL have started the new season brilliantly as they occupy the third spot in the Liga MX standings after four matches. They have recorded three wins and one draw in these matches. They will be shifting their focus to the Leagues Cup now.

In a group consisting of Inter Miami and Puebla, the Tigres finished in the top spot courtesy of wins over both of them. Defeating defending champions Inter Miami will only build their confidence in fighting for the cup this term. 

After making an impressive start to the season, things are not looking good for New York City who are without a win in their last seven matches. Goal-scoring has emerged as a problem for them lately after netting six goals in five matches. 

The Pigeons are yet to register a win in the normal time in this competition. They opened their campaign against Queretaro in a goalless draw which they ended up winning on penalties. Next up, they faced Cincinnati who dismantled them in a 4-2 loss. The same thing happened for them in the last 32 clash where they drew in the normal time before winning on penalties to make it here. 

Kick-Off:

Form:

⁠Tigres UANL (in all competitions): W-W-W-W-W

Players to Watch

Andre-Pierre Gignac (⁠Tigres UANL)

The French international is back in the starting lineup after missing a large chunk of matches due to injury. This season he has appeared 13 times for the team scoring six goals in the process. Once fit and firing, Gignac can be an unstoppable force on his day after displaying exceptional performances during the season. With New York City not in great form, he can become the difference maker for the team in this match with his all-round abilities. 

Santiago Rodriguez (New York City FC)

The Uruguayan U23 international has been one of the shining lights for the team scoring ten goals across all competitions while also laying on four assists. The 24-year-old is known for his versatility as he can play several positions up front. However, his best position remains the attacking midfielder, where he has looked dangerous due to his excellent vision and ball-carrying abilities.
