Tigres welcome Guadalajara at the Estadio Universitario in Liga MX on Saturday (August 24). Both teams are set to play their first game since their return from the Leagues Cup.
The hosts won their last league game against Santos Laguna 3-0 on the road before heading for the Leagues Cup in the United States. Tigres were knocked out in the Round of 16 by New York City FC following a 2-1 loss.
Los Tigres have played only four matches in the new season, winning three, which leaves them fifth in the standings with 10 points. With two games in hand, Tigres will look to close their three-point gap on leaders Cruz Azul. The hosts have lost once in five matches at home.
Guadalajara, meanwhile, were sent home early from the Leagues Cup after failing to progress beyond the group stage. They won their last two league games against Mazatlan at home and Queretaro on the road, following a draw and a defeat in the two other games. The visitors are ninth with seven points but could move into the top-five if they succeed on Sunday.
Chivas, meanwhile, are in search of their 13th Liga MX title since 2017 when they won the Clausura. Last year, they finished sixth and reached the Final phase semi-final before losing 1-0 to Club America.
Tigres and Guadalajara last met in January this year at the Estadio Universitario, with Tigres snatching a solitary-goal win.
