The Tigres UANL vs Monterrey CCL final first-leg match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Felinos host Los Rayados at the Estadio Universitario this Tuesday, April 23, 2019, at 7:00 PM Pacific.
Both teams understand the importance of the match, given the intense rivalry between the teams. However, Tigres UANL has a lot more riding on this final than Monterrey due to the fact that Los Felinos have never won an international title.
Ricardo Ferretti’s team have had an outstanding season, currently second in the Liga MX 2019 Clausura. The team from Nuevo Leon defeated Saprissa, the Houston Dynamo and Santos Laguna on the road to this final.
Tigres dominated in the tournament, coming off a dominant 5-3 win on aggregate against Santos Laguna. Los Felinos were even able to get the result without star striker Andre-Pierre Gignac, who is just coming off an injury and is set to start this match.
Monterrey had an arguably easier road to this final, defeating Alianza in the round of 16, Atlanta United in the quarterfinals and Sporting KC in the semifinals. Rayados demolished Kansas City in the semis with a final aggregate score of 10-2, finishing the series with a 5-2 win away from home.
Diego Alonso also has a very solid team that is arguably much better defensively than Tigres with players like Nicolas Sanchez and Miguel Layun in the backline. Rayados also has a very dangerous attack led by Rogelio Funes Mori, who has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season.
Tigres vs Monterrey Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a slim 2-1 win for Tigres in this match as Los Felinos will have the urgency to win the game with the home-field advantage.
