Tigres UANL<\/a> host Necaxa<\/a> at Estadio Universitario on Saturday, September 5 (9:00 PM ET \/ 8:00 PM CT \/ 6:00 PM PT).<\/p>\n

Tigres UANL and Necaxa both have a clean bill of health heading into this one, with no fresh team news forcing changes at either end. Juan Francisco Brunetta remains the creative fulcrum for Tigres, already up to 3 goals and 3 assists from 539 minutes this season, while Rodrigo Aguirre gives the hosts a second scoring outlet with 2 goals in 405 minutes. Necaxa’s central threat is Julian Carranza, who has scored 4 goals from 16 shots and is expected to lead the line again up front.<\/p>\n

This looks a game Tigres should control without running away with it. They’ve won just 1 of their 6 league games so far, drawing 2 and losing 3, and their home form (D L L W D) has been shaky enough to keep Necaxa in this. Necaxa arrive off a 1-3 home defeat to Cruz Azul, though Julian Carranza’s touch in front of goal means they rarely go quietly. Expect Tigres to edge it, with goals at both ends rather than a canter.<\/p>\n
