Last five matches have been under, and in those Jaguares have been unable to beat Tigres.

Jaguares Chiapas

The team went to play on away to San Luis Potosi and this was the second match in the coach position of Victor Manuel Vucetich. Jaguares on away collect another defeat, still this time the team was able to improve in defense and show more offensive work, but still that wasn't enough to make the team get a better result. The team is on the bottomg of the group 1, still this is the most competitive of the whole tournament.

The first half see few chances and it was until the second half that San Luis by MF Braulio Luna score the only goal of the game, even DF Melvin Brown trie to kick to ball out but it was already inside the net, and it was definite. Jaguares have important chances from FW Santiago Salcedo, FW Javier Campora and MF Walter Fretes, but they where unable to score it, even one of their chances was stop on the goal line dening the goal. So Jaguares show strong defense altough the goal and more important show offensive display as they went to attack to try to level the game but where unable due to San Luis good defense and luck.

Jaguares is the third worst defensive, still in last two matches under the new coach the team have just allow one goal, so they are improving in this area and showing more offensive intentions, still luck wasn't with them in the last matches. The team is strong on home as they have allow only two goals there and their worst resulst has been draw, from there just collecting victories, this display is expected to mantain.

The coach said to the media that he is seeing improvement on the team and that the results will came, and he have just barely two weeks in the position, so maybe is just a way to boost the players morale to face a hard match. Also the coach called some player from 1 "A" to be observe and possibly consider to start the game. Their best forward right now is Javier Campora with four goals.

Injured:

DF Oscar Rojas (doubtfoul)

Tigres UANL

The team have get some fair results in home as last match the team won again 1-0 in home, thanks to a goal of reinforcement FW Francisco "Kikin" Fonseca, the team has witness lack of accuracy and thanks to their good defense they have show take forward the games, but they are suffering a lot to get their victories, which have been just 1-0 and all of them in home. The first part was where FW "Kikin" Fonseca score, and for the second half the team show good things but was unable to score, even have to suffer in some moments because Veracruz was able to get some chances but wheren't luck enough to convert them. The performance of Walter Gaitan finally was something to remark but he needs to be most constant on it. Tigres even with one player superioty, as Veracruz MF Lucas Ayala was expelled on '67 minute, was unable to score. MF Walter Gaitan strike a ball in the goal post.

The team consolidates in the third position of group three which is just a tight fight on the top three places of that group, in the overall table the group is on the 7th place. But the most important thing of the team is the defense, where they hold the third best defense with just 5 goals allow in 7 matches, is to highlight that all of the goal receive have been on second half. Their most urgent task is the offensive as they are hold on the third worst offensive with just 5 goals score, but this is somehow justified as the team is doing a defensive scheme, but last match the team blow many chances.

With the victory the team have overpass again UNAM and Tecos in relegation fight but thanks to Santos performance this is not so relevant, but still put some ground between them. Tigres in last matches have show better integration between them.

Injured:

MF Jaime Lozano (doubtfoul)

Match:

It is expected a tight match with fight on the middlefield and defensive over offensive, a close match.

Prediction:

For O/U I sense that Under is the most probable since both defenses have improve , but odds aren't very attractive, still I think that it can end 1-1 or something like that.
