The Leon vs Tigres UANL match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Esmeraldas host Los Felinos at the Nou Camp this Saturday, January 5, 2019, at 5:06 PM Pacific.
Leon had some big acquisitions in the offseason, adding the likes of Rubens Sambueza from Toluca and Angel Mena from Cruz Azul. However, La Fiera also lost team captain and legendary goalscorer Mauro Boselli to Brazilian team Corinthians and should struggle without his leadership and presence.
Los Panzas Verdes had a very uneventful 2018 Apertura tournament, not making the playoffs, but do have the talent to crack into the top eight. Rubens Sambueza should be especially influential in the midfield alongside Luis Montes to add experience and leadership to this squad.
Tigres UANL had a very quiet offseason, but did lose some key players as Ismael Sosa is now with Pachuca and team captain Juninho retired. Los Felinos did acquire Luis Quinones and Jefferson Itrago to add some depth and still have one of the best rosters in the league.
The team from Nuevo Leon has enough firepower to lift the 2019 Clausura trophy with Andre-Pierre Gignac, Enner Valencia and Eduardo Vargas. But the defense may struggle, especially without the guidance of Juninho in the backline.
