Betting on Club Tigres
Tigres has been facing a lot of challenges this year in 2023, which is why the team hasn’t been able to place itself among the top teams in Liga MX. However, things are looking up for it in the CONCACAF Champions League, where it is advancing and hoping to reach the semi-finals. Tigres managed to secure a narrow victory against Motagua while playing away, and now it wants to continue on that path at home, despite its recent loss against Mazatlán, the worst team in the Mexican league, while playing at home.
In this upcoming match, Tigres will be debuting its new coach, Uruguayan Robert Dante Silboldi. Unfortunately, the team has only won three out of its last ten games in all competitions, and none of those victories were achieved while playing at home. In fact, it has suffered three consecutive defeats in front of its own fans, and it is currently on a six-game winless streak at home.
Possible 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 Motagua
Motagua ended its four-game winless streak in all competitions by defeating Vida 0-1 in the Honduran League, which will serve as a morale boost for this international match. The team has had an inconsistent performance in the domestic league, but still managed to secure the fifth position.
Regarding the CONCACAF Champions League, Motagua managed to eliminate Pachuca thanks to the away goals rule in the round of 16, with a global score of 1-1, making it one of the tournament’s surprises. Although it has not had much success on the road this year, with only two wins in nine matches in all competitions, the team comes off a victory in its most recent away game.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Marlon Licona; Christopher Melendez, Marcelo Pereira, Carlos Melendez, Wesly Decas; Juan Delgado, Gaspar Triverio, Hector Castellanos, Walter Martinez; Ivan Lopez, Eddie Hernandez
JefeBet Prediction
Tigres hasn’t won at home since last February, but with a new coach, things might turn around. Its only international performance at home this year was against Orlando City in the round of 16, which ended in a 0-0 draw.
Another tie could work in its favor for this Tigres vs Motagua match, but Tigres could also come out victorious. However, it’s unlikely the team will cover the Over 2.5.
Prediction: Tigers Moneyline (TIG 2 – MOT 0).
