Tigres UANL vs C.F. America Predictions
The Apertura 2023 league stage draws to a close with an exciting round of high-stakes fixtures over the weekend. Tigres UANL will host Club America on Saturday, aiming to end the visitor’s prolific run.
Tigres have fumbled after a great start to the season. In recent weeks, inconsistency has dealt massive blows and saw the side emerge victorious on just two occasions in their last five outings. However, the team has a stellar record at home, which can make life difficult for Club America.
Club America, though, look like they can do no wrong this season. They are the best away team in the league, sitting at the summit of the league. These two clubs were the first teams to book their playoff quarterfinal berths before CF Monterrey overtook Tigres in the standings.
Previous Meetings
The head-to-head between these old rivals is close, with Tigres emerging triumphant 14 times and Club America 17 times; the remaining nine games ended in draws.
On the other hand, though, recent history paints a completely different picture. Tigres have not beaten Club America in their last eight meetings, with the latter winning all of them. It will be an uphill task for the home side to beat the table toppers on Saturday, but if they do and CF Monterrey fumble, Tigres can finish second in the league.
Tigres UANL Have Struggled in Recent Weeks
Tigres UANL were unbeaten for the first five games of the current Apertura season and led the table for a brief time. The defending champions were the second team behind their next opponents, Club America, to qualify for the quarterfinals.
In the last five matches, though, Los Tigres have only won twice. They drew against Pachuca and Atletico de San Luis Pumas and were beaten 2-0 when they traveled to Tijuana.
Home Side Have the Incentive to Finish Second
Los Tigres can leapfrog into second place in the table with a win in the final league stage game. They are level on points with their arch-rivals Monterrey, who also have to play a game, but if Monterrey drop points, Tigres can move above them.
Their home form will be another boost for Robert Siboldi’s men. Tigres are unbeaten at home in the last six games. They are ranked third at home in the league this season.
Unbeaten Home Record at Stake
Tigres UANL are unbeaten at home in eight games in the current Apertura season, with five wins and three draws, a record they will try their best to preserve against a formidable opponent. Another incentive for the Tigres would be to win against Club America at home for the first time in six years, not having beaten them at home in the league since Clausura 2017.
Tigres have put on a fantastic goalscoring show this season, averaging two goals per game. Their top-scorer, Andre-Pierre Gignac, has bagged nine goals with four assists. Nicolas Ibanez has also got six goals and an assist to his name.
Club America Can Do No Wrong
Club America are enjoying a fantastic run in the Apertura 2023 season. They are placed first in the league table and, win or lose, will finish the regular season at the top.
They have accumulated 39 points so far, having lost just their opening game of the Apertura campaign. They have won 12 of their 16 games and drawn just three. Andre Jardine’s side are the favorites for the current Apertura campaign.
Best Away Record This Season
Club America have the best away record in the Apertura this season. They have beaten teams like San Luis and Monterrey on the road already. They are unbeaten away from home with five wins and one loss and will aim to keep that record intact.
The 13-time Liga MX champions are also scoring goals for fun this season, averaging 2.3 goals per game so far. They have scored 37 goals already and conceded just 14 in comparison.
Stellar Record Against Tigres
Though the head-to-head record between these two teams is 17-14 in favor of Club America, the story has been relatively one-sided in recent times. Club America have not lost against their next opponents since the Leagues Cup in 2019.
The past eight meetings have been a whitewash of Tigres by Club America. They have won all eight of these meetings. Jardine’s side is in great form to keep that record intact.
