Tigres UANL Preview

Last term’s runners-up failed to acquire all three points as Guido Pizarro’s men fell short on the road in a 2-1 setback against La Máquina. Inside the 90-minute frame, Tigres couldn’t generate much on attack, registering only nine shots and finishing with an xG of 0.43. The defence could use a little tidying up, as the club has conceded at least a goal in five of their six Liga MX fixtures. 

In a span of a week, Angel Correa has carried the offence on his shoulders. Across all competitions, the 30-year-old has amassed three goals and a pair of helpers in his previous three outings. Another threat that could help carry the team to victory, Diego Lainez, is off to a sensational start in 2026. The Mexican international has only put up three goal contributions. Still, it’s his play-making abilities, finding an open man or his high pressing that have led to Tigres manufacturing quality opportunities.

C.F. Pachuca Preview

Esteban Solari and his colleagues had one of the premier performances over the weekend, dismantling Atlas F.C. 3-1. Since dropping the 2026 Clausura season opener, the Gophers have reeled off five straight wins, including two consecutive victories. José Salomón Rondón added to the tally column against Atlas in the 67th minute; now the potent striker has cataloged three goals in the campaign. 

The story in last weekend's fixture was the play of Oussama Idrissi, who put on a clinic anchoring the middle of the pitch. The Moroccan finished his 65-minute shift with the opening goal and obtained an assist in the game winner. The 29-year-old also finished above the 80 percent mark in accurate passes and ground duels won. If Pachuca plans to pull off the upset this weekend, the star midfielder will need to be influential and involved.

Tigres UANL vs. C.F. Pachuca - My Pick

• Tigres UANL vs. C.F. Pachuca pick: Tigres UANL ML three-way (-165) at FanDuel

The previous week was a tough one for Tigres, as it had to juggle the CONCACAF Champions Cup and Liga MX matches. This week, La U de Nuevo León is in a much better position to claim all three points, with more time to rest and recover. Another reason we are backing Tigres to obtain a maximum result is their effective record against Pachuca at the Estadio Universitario.

Since 2011, across 22 games, the Gophers have been upended in 15 instances. Worth mentioning, the visitors have yet to find the back of the net in two away appearances so far into the 2026 term.
