Tigres vs Pumas 2017 Preview

Tigres UANL has had a slow start to the new season, coming off a 2-1 loss against Pachuca away from home. The team from Nuevo Leon started off the Apertura with a promising 5-0 win against Puebla but then followed that up with two draws against Santos Laguna and Queretaro and that loss against Pachuca. Andre-Pierre Gignac did score his first goal of the Apertura 2017 in that loss against Pachuca and hopefully, for Ricardo Ferretti, that means that the French striker will be in form and start producing.

While the defense has looked off with the huge void of Guido Pizarro in the midfield, the offense is so potent that it can just outscore its way to victories. This should be a very winnable game for Tigres UANL especially with the massive home support but it could still prove to be a complicated match against a tough opponent.

Pumas UNAM has had a bit of a better start to the Apertura 2017 with two wins and two losses. The two wins came against Pachuca and Lobos BUAP at home but the two losses did come away from the Olimpico Universitario against Atlas and Club America. Chilean striker Nicolas Castillo has been one of the most impressive players on the Mexico City team with four goals on his tally so far.

The 24-year-old scored both goals in the 2-0 victory against Lobos BUAP last weekend and is the main player to watch in this game for Pumas UNAM. The game could be one of the best in the Liga MX this weekend and should be filled with a few goals in it.
