Betting on Tigres
Tigres made it to the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals after an impressive 6-0 aggregate score against Motagua from Honduras. They had some doubts in the round of 16, as they only advanced on away goals after a 1-1 draw with Orlando City.
Now, they face an old familiar opponent from the Liga MX, and they’ll be looking to knock them out of the way in their quest for their second title. March was a tough month for the team from Monterrey, but they’ve bounced back in April with three wins in their six matches across all competitions.
They’ve kept clean sheets in their last three games, which include two wins and a draw. In addition, they head into this game on the back of two home victories and will be looking to secure three wins in a row for the first time this year.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Nahuel Guzmán; Javier Aquino, Igor Lichnovsky, Diego Reyes, Jesús Angulo; Guido Pizarro, Rafael Carioca; Luis Quiñones, Nico López, Diego Lainez; André-Pierre Gignac.
Betting on Leon
León won both of their round of 16 matches, but they couldn’t replicate that success in the quarterfinals. They won the first leg against Violette 5-0, but lost the second leg game by a score of 2-1. Nevertheless, their overall score was favorable, and that’s why they’ve made it to the semifinals.
In 1993, the “Esmeraldas” made it to the final of this competition, but had to settle for being runners-up. Winning the title has been a pending task for them ever since, and this is the perfect opportunity to achieve it.
However, their current form is not very encouraging, as they haven’t won in their last four matches across all competitions and have only scored one goal during that period. To make matters worse, they’ll be playing as visitors in this match, and they haven’t won away from home in a month, with two draws and one loss.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Rodolfo Cota; Iván Moreno, Adonis Frías, Paul Bellón, Oscar Villa; Ángel Mena, Fidel Ambríz, Joel Campbell, Elías Hernández; Lucas Di Yorio, Victor Dávila.
JefeBet Prediction
The last time León and Tigres faced each other in the Liga MX, León won by a score of 1-0, and they did it playing at the Estadio Universitario. However, Tigres usually make their home stadium a stronghold against this opponent and have only lost two of their last ten games against them. That’s why, as the home team, we at JefeBet believe that Tigres are the clear favorites to win this match.
Prediction: Tigres Moneyline (TIG 2-1 LEO).
