Tigres UANL Preview

Guido Pizarro’s men are showing encouraging signs of late, as the squad is currently riding an unbeaten run of eight. Thanks to their solid form, Tigres currently sit fifth overall in the standings with 23 points heading into Friday's skirmish. With five matches remaining in the Apertura, La U de Nuevo León are chasing the defending champions, Toluca, who presently have 28 points. 

After a blazing start to his Tigres introduction, Angel Correa, the club's joint co-leader goal scorer with four tallies, has cooled off since the beginning of September. His previous six starts have seen him acquire two goal contributions. With the playoffs around the corner, the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner must regain the form we witnessed during the Leagues Cup.

Club Necaxa Preview

Each passing week, Fernando Gago’s seat is getting a bit hotter with the recent display of poor performances from his troops. Despite Los Rayos heading into round 13, four points behind the playoff play-in stage, the club is currently settled in second last place, stuck on nine points. 

Production upfront is one of the key reasons Club Necaxa are flailing in the Apertura, only securing 11 total goals, just one more than Liga MX low Club Puebla. Last term's 11-goal scorer, Diber Cambundo, is undergoing a season to forget. The 29-year-old striker has only found the back of the net on two occasions through nine appearances. The internationally capped Colombian should have an opportunity to help his side find the scoresheet as he is averaging 3.84 shots taken per 90, it’s only a matter of time his quality will translate into goals.
