Los Tigres come from a goalless draw against Atlético San Luis, while Cruz Azul did not play due to the suspension of the match against Querétaro FC. However, La Máquina played a friendly against Atlante that was equalized by two goals and with a stellar performance by Chilean Iván Morales.
History between Cruz Azul and Tigres
The last five meetings between Cruz Azul and Tigres slightly favor La Máquina with two wins, plus one win for Tigres and two draws.
Tigres is entrenched in the championship after achieving important signings like that of Nicolás Ibáñez and this week ended up closing the incorporation of Diego Lainez. In addition, the university students announced the two-year renewal of their star André-Pierre Gignac.
