Tigres Preview
Tigres did not close the regular phase in the way they would have wanted to. Indeed, they had to put a lot of effort throughout the phase to occupy a place in the quarter-finals, after finishing in fifth place with 30 points. Their last win, against Atlético de San Luis with a score of 0-3, allowed them to define the playoffs on their home field. Now, they have to open the phase at home and close it as visitors.
The Tigres team has nine wins, three ties and five losses in 17 regular phase games. And although they lost their last home game during the macro campaign by a score of 0-1 to León, they vindicated themselves with a 2-0 win over Necaxa in the playoffs.
Absences: Javier Aquino.
Probable lineup: Nahuel Guzmán; Jesús Garza, Samir Caetano, Igor Lichnovsky, Jesús Angulo; Rafael Carioca, Guido Pizarro, Sebastián Córdova; Luis Quiñones, André-Pierre Gignac, Raymundo Fulgencio.
Pachuca Preview
Pachuca has surprised everyone by maintaining the level it showed in the Clausura 2022, where it came very close to being champion, but ultimately lost the final to Atlas. The Pachuca’s team, once again, finished the regular season as one of the four teams that advanced to the quarter-finals directly. It attained the fourth place overall with 32 points, thanks to the nine wins, five draws and three losses that they had.
The Tuzos have done a good job defensively, and they are considered to have the third best defense of the campaign with only 15 goals conceded. Here, they will be playing on rival territory, but this doesn’t prevent them from having some hope about getting a positive result, they hadn’t lost any of their last two games as a visitor.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Óscar Ustari; Kevin Álvarez, José Castillo, Óscar Murillo, Mauricio Isais; Víctor Guzmán, Luis Chávez, Érick Sánchez; Avilés Hurtado, Nicolás Ibáñez and Javier López.
JefeBet Prediction
It is likely that the Tigres will be the ones making an effort to take advantage of the home game, but Pachuca’s defense could be difficult to break down, indicating that it will be a hard-fought match, with few scoring opportunities, and two teams trying to avoid unnecessary mistakes. A draw seems the most sensible thing to do on the front line.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 0-0.
