The Tigres UANL vs Cruz Azul game will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Felinos host Los Cementeros at the Estadio Universitario this Saturday, January 19, 2019, at 7:00 PM Pacific.
Tigres UANL is coming off a very comfortable 3-0 win against Club Tijuana away from home and now has four points to begin the new season. Andre-Pierre Gignac led the Liga MX with 14 goals last season and already has two goals to start off the 2019 Clausura tournament.
Ricardo Ferretti will have some key absences for this match as Lucas Zelayaran and Javier Aquino are injured. However, Tigres has incredible depth on its roster, especially in the attack and the absences should not make much of an impact in this clash.
Cruz Azul has had a rocky start to the 2019 Clausura with a 1-1 draw against Puebla in Week 1 and a 1-0 loss against Chivas at home in Week 2. Los Celestes were the runners-up last season and are still seeking redemption after falling to Club America in the 2018 Apertura final.
La Maquina recently lost defensive midfielder Ivan Marcone to Boca Juniors and that could be a significant blow to Pedro Caixinha’s team despite having a busy offseason. The Mexico City team still has talented midfielders like Javier Salas and Orbelin Pineda, but they cannot be compared to Marcone. Cruz Azul does have very talented offensive players like Roberto Alvarado, Elias Hernandez and Jonathan Rodriguez, but they have been ineffective in the first couple of games in the season.
Tigres UANL vs Cruz Azul Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a 2-1 win for Tigres UANL in this game as Los Felinos will have the advantage at home and in the midfield with Guido Pizarro.
