After three straight wins for the Rayados, Moreno, Janssen and Romo show that the atmosphere has changed and this afternoon Rayados will be looking to win the Clasico Regiomontano:

The UANL Tigres arrived at the stadium, where they have only lost to Puebla on the second date of the championship.

The governor of Nuevo Leon, Samuel Garcia, and his wife, sent a message with the two shirts on social networks to support family coexistence and away from violence in the stadiums, especially for this afternoon:

Last weekend, Tigres defeated León 3-0 as visitors, leaving their first clean sheet of the season; while Rayados de Monterrey defeated Juárez by the same score on Tuesday, in a pending Liga MX match.

Rogelio Funes Mori was sidelined for this game due to injury and also missed the Mexican National Team's call-up for the same reason, so Janssen will have to replace him once again on the field.

The Clásico Regio will have another edition this Saturday from Nuevo León when the in-form Tigres de la UANL seek to inflict the first defeat on Víctor Manuel Vucetich in his new era at Rayados de Monterrey. We begin our coverage of the Liga MX game on VAVEL.

Although the felines have the upper hand against Rayados with four wins (two of them at home) in the last five matches, the most recent meeting between the two teams saw La Pandilla break the losing streak and take all three points.

Rayados Monterrey 2-0 Tigres UANL, Apertura 2021

Tigres UANL 2-1 Rayados Monterrey, Clausura 2021

Rayados Monterrey 0-2 Tigres UANL, Apertura 2020

He has been heavily criticized, but it seems that little by little Rodolfo Pizarro is readjusting to Rayados and Mexican soccer, highlighting that he scored in midweek against Bravos de Juárez.

Frenchman André-Pierre Gignac wants to win another goal-scoring title, having scored eight goals in nine matches, a streak that he will be looking to increase against the city's fierce rival and at home; he scored one of the goals in the win against La Fiera.

1 Esteban Andrada, 15 Héctor Moreno, 3 César Montes, 14 Érick Aguirre, 33 Stefan Medina, 8 Joel Campbell, 16 Celso Ortiz, 4 Luís Romo, 9 Vincent Janssen, 11 Maximiliano Meza, 30 Rodolfo Pizarro.

Likewise, "Piojo" assured that América vs Chivas gathers more people at a national level, but that the Clásico Regio is the most passionate that exists in Mexico:

"Passionately this is the most passionate, the one that people are waiting for, people are always talking about soccer, territorially, obviously the National Clasico, the America vs Chivas gathers more people, expectantly it is bigger, but at a passion level, this one is undoubtedly more important," he sentenced.

After the game against León, Miguel Herrera was asked what he thought of Rayados' streak, to which he replied that they had improved under Víctor Manuel Vucetich, but that it was still too early to say whether they had really improved.

"Monterrey has done well in the last few matches. It's only two games, they're not on a roll either," he commented. It should be noted that "Piojo" watched Tuesday's game between Rayados and Juárez at the Steel Giant with the mission of analyzing the rival.

Given how irregular the championship has been, especially when Javier Aguirre was in charge, winning the Clasico Regio will be a boost to their morale as they head into the final stretch of the season and prior to the FIFA Date; it is worth noting that this will be their first visit since March 1 when they drew against Leon. They defeated Bravos de Ciudad Juárez in midweek in a pending game.

With seven games without defeat, the UANL Tigres started this matchday in third place with 20 points and are close to the lead, which is why they must not take their foot off the accelerator, especially at home against their fierce rivals; they have just defeated León 3-0 and, for the first time in the Clausura 2022, they did not allow a goal.

The Tigres vs Monterrey match will be played at the Universitario Stadium, in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 9:00 pm ET.
