• FC Juarez vs. Tigres UANL pick: Tigres UANL Moneyline 3-way (-112) at bet365

Entering Sunday night, Tigres should get back to their winning techniques taking on a struggling side in Juarez. Tigres have demonstrated early on that playing at home or on the road has no effect on their play as they have solid forms in any scenario they're placed in. Tigres are keeping pace with Cruz Azul who sit at the top of the table, this is a match the visitors can’t afford to lose and keep up in the chase. Juarez will have difficulties breaking down their counterpart as Tigres has only allowed three away goals on four occasions.
