Tigres UANL vs Pachuca Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Leagues Cup 2024

Two of the best sides in Liga MX fight for a place in the last 16.

Tigres UANL have made a good start to the new Liga MX season after managing to remain unbeaten in the opening four matches. Currently, they are occupying the third spot in the league with ten points, behind league leaders Cruz Azul on goal difference. 

The team have done well in the Leagues Cup after gathering wins over Puebla and Inter Miami to top their group. They are now set to face league rivals Pachuca in the Round of 32. With the form they are in, we expect the Tigres to give their opponents more than just a headache.

Pachuca have endured a tough start. In the last five matches, they have gathered just one win. The team currently occupies the 12th spot in the league after winning one, drawing one and losing two matches in Liga MX. 

However, Pachuca’s run in the Leagues Cup has been thrilling. They won against New York Red Bulls in the opening match of the group via a 5-4 penalty shootout victory. The initial score was levelled at 1-1. However, they suffered a loss in the next match against Toronto to make things dicey in their group.

Players to Watch

Nicolás Ibánez (Tigres UANL) 

The Argentine international has deputized perfectly in the absence of Andre-Pierre Gignac. After initially struggling to find the back of the netting in the opening matches, Ibánez has scored two goals in the last five matches. He has also provided a crucial assist in the last match against MLS side Inter Miami. With Pachuca struggling at the moment, he has a perfect chance to grab the opportunity and play an important part here. 

José Salomon Rondon (Pachuca) 

The Venezuelan international has made an outstanding start to the new season after netting ten goals and one assist from the opening ten matches. Rondon has continued his excellent form from the Copa America where he has helped the national team to make a historic run in the group stage. Tall and physically strong, Rondon has been a fantastic addition to the team after appearing 31 times for Pachuca, scoring 20 goals.
