Watch out for this Tigres player:

For this match, as always, André-Pierre Gignac will be the player to watch for the feline team. The French striker is the felines' offensive force, in charge of generating, searching for the ball and opening up space to look for a shot that will allow Tigres to get on the scoreboard. In addition, his great experience and mastery of the small area has enabled him to be the goal-scoring champion on several occasions since he arrived in Liga MX.

July 7, 2022 2:29 PM ET

Watch out for this Mazatlán player:

For this match, the player to watch will be Nicolás Benedetti. The "poet" has become a fundamental piece in the cannonballers' offensive midfield and is in charge of distributing the ball to the others so that Mazatlán can find a way to generate danger and score goals. He has also been gradually regaining his level, making him a latent danger for the feline defense.

M. Ortega; J. Aquino, I. Lichnovsky, D. Reyes, J. Angulo; F. Thauvin, G. Pizarro, J. Vigón, R. Fulgencio; F. Córdova, A. Gignac.

To raise their game

Last week, the Tigres team faced the Cruz Azul cement machine at the Universitario Stadium. The team coached by "piojo" Herrera was in a great duel against the blue and white team, as the game was tied 2-2 in the last minutes of the match, but the felines were surprised at the end with a penalty kick in favor of Cruz Azul, which was taken by Santiago Giménez to snatch the victory in the final moments. Now, the team led by Miguel Herrera and headed by Gignac will be looking for the three points they already had in their hands against Mazatlán and to show their fans that, as is normal in every tournament, Tigres will be fighting for the title.

July 7, 2022 1:59 PM ET

The Cañeros are looking to win at home

The Mazatlán team will be looking to win their first three points of the championship when they host Tigres in Matchday 2 of the Mexican championship. The team coached by Gabriel Caballero lost to Puebla de Larcamaón by a score of 4-2. In general, the team from the pearl of the Pacific had a great performance, but their defensive errors cost them the four goals they conceded, even so, offensively they had many dangerous chances that were not scored due to the great performance of Anthony Silva. Mazatlán will have to play with the same intensity and be more concrete against Tigres de la UANL if they want to dream big in this new start of the tournament.
