Tigres UANL Preview

Despite his team’s recent setback, Francisco Cordova created the most chances in the match with eight. It’s been a frustrating campaign for the 27-year-old with his dwindling numbers in goal contributions. The Mexican international has obtained one goal and two assists in 12 domestic league showings. 

The club's current leading goal-getter came on a second-half substitute amassing 27 minutes of playing time. André-Pierre Gignac's shift on Tuesday saw his three-game goal-scoring streak come to an end. The Tigres legend will look to get back on the stat sheet in a milestone appearance on Saturday as the 38-year-old will make his 400th appearance repping Los Auriazules.

Bagging his first goal in the tournament, Oussama Idrissi scored the opening goal in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw. The Moroccan international had an impressive full 90-minute stretch, finishing with four total shots with three of them reaching the target. In 48 all-time games played with Pachuca, the winger has snagged nine goals and 16 assists. 

Between the sticks, Carlos Moreno displayed one of his best performances of the season on Tuesday. The 26-year-old completed four saves in his 11th start. The keeper currently has substandard numbers in this year’s Apertura, posting a 66 percent save percentage while allowing 1.64 goals against per 90 minutes.

• Club Tijuana vs. Club America pick: Tigres UANL 3-way moneyline (-134) at bet365

Rolling into Saturday's skirmish, all signs point towards backing the home side. Tigres have acquired four wins out of six matches at Estadio Universitario and only conceded three goals to show off their home dominance. Pachuca has struggled to find the back of the net in away trips this year only registering five goals. Los Tuzos' bigger concern is on the backline as they have surrendered 12 goals in seven away contests. Tigres have dominated this fixture when they’re backed by their home faithful, landing 14 victories across their last 21 games only malfunctioning once which occurred in April of 2024. Los Tigres are more than capable of handling their business and we should see them get back under the win column.
