Tigres UANL are clear favourites at Allianz Field, but the straight-to-penalties format keeps this Phase One tie tighter than the market suggests.
The market prices Tigres as 60% favourites to take all three points against Minnesota United, with the visitors at 32% and a draw-to-penalties finish at 8%. This is the second of three Phase One fixtures for the MLS side, who will look to press their home advantage in a format that offers no safety net for a defensive approach. Kick-off at Allianz Field is set for 9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 7:00 PM MT / 6:00 PM PT on Friday, August 7.
