Tigres learned its lesson after the scare the team got from Toluca in the quarterfinals second leg, where it suffered a 3-1 defeat. However, the team managed not to lose in the semifinals, despite starting at a disadvantage from the first half. Therefore, since the start of Tigres’ participation in the Liguilla, including the Playoffs, the team has only lost one out of the five matches played, with three wins, and one draw.
Due to finishing in seventh place overall in the regular season, Tigres will open the series at home, just like in the quarterfinals and semifinals. In this condition, the team has not lost since April 8, when it was beaten by Mazatlán 2-1, and currently holds a streak of six unbeaten matches at home in all competitions.

Chivas has had its ups and downs in the Liguilla, but the team has won the matches it needed to get to this stage. Actually, the team lost the first leg of the quarterfinals against Atlas 1-0, but won the second leg by the same score to tie the aggregate and secure a spot in the semifinals. Then, in the semis, Chivas faced its all-time rival, América, and after losing the first leg 1-0, the team managed to come back with a 3-1 win to advance to the grand final of the Mexican soccer party.
Actually, the team’s recent away victory could work in its favor, as it will surely boost its players’ motivation. Chivas has only lost two out of the 11 away matches played throughout the Clausura 2023, and both times the score was 1-0.
