Tigres Preview
The Tigres team faces uncertain times. Diego Cocca has been chosen to take the reins of the Mexican National Team, and he will leave his players, which are in good rhythm and on their way to becoming league protagonists.
All this buzz around these decisions may affect the team that was just adapting to the Argentine’s idea. The team is just arriving to matchday 6 and a new coach is coming in. Chima Ruiz will be the new manager of the team, which he already knows well. Though, it is difficult for him to move the team with so little preparation time.
Last season with Miguel Herrera, things being discussed outside the dressing room affected the team greatly and, with Cocca, things changed for the better. Now, the man that has been leading the team will be leaving, and it looks like it could be detrimental for the Tigres team.
This team has not lost a league match, and in their last clash it defeated Cruz Azul by a 0-1 score at the Azteca with a great Diego Laínez performance. At the same time, two draws revealed the team’s shortcomings: a weak attack. This is worrying considering the lineup it plays with. It drew 1-1 in Tijuana and 0-0 against San Luis at the Volcán.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Nahuel Guzmán; Jesús Angel Garza, Diego Reyes, Samir Caetano, Jesús Angulo; Fernando Gorriarán, Guido Pizarro, Rafa Carioca, Luis Quiñones: André Pierre Gignac, Nicolás Ibañez
Pumas Preview
The defeat against Santos in matchday 2 hurt the Pumas team, and since then, it has not lost another match. Indeed, it has reached three draws in a row, two in the league and one against Houston Dynamo in the Carolina Challenge Cup.
The Pumas have only scored two goals in those three games, which is a bit worrisome, and which makes us wonder if they have run out of power on their attack. It is almost as if the team had run out of goals after the 4-1 it pulled against Leon at CU.
Moreover, the team will suffer a significant loss in the midfield, since Higor Melitao was sent off in the match against Atlas. The Brazilian is an essential part of Rafa Puente’s team. He is the balance of the Puma midfield, and against a team like Tigres, his absence can be quite detrimental.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Sebastián Sosa; José Galindo, Jonathan Sánchez, Nicolás Freire, Adrián Aldrete; Diogo, Jesús Molina, Ulises Rivas, Alek Alvarez; Gustavo del Prete, Juan Dinneno.
JefeBet Prediction
All the buzz around Tigres will do a lot of damage, and Pumas’ lack of goals will combine to ensure that the points are shared at the Volcán.
Prediction: Tigres 0-0 Pumas.
