Tigres UANL vs Leon Preview

The Liga MX giants are set to extend their domestic rivalry to the CONCACAF Champions League after booking their place in the semi-finals. They are the two surviving Mexican representatives out of the four that began the competition. Tigres UANL have won the title once, in 2020.

Los Tigres crushed Honduran side Motagua 6-0 on aggregate in the quarterfinals to complete a four-game unbeaten run in the series. With one match to spare in Liga MX Clausura, UANL sit seventh behind fifth-placed Leon on 25-27 points respectively. The last meeting between the sides ended 1-0 in favor of Leon.

The visitors are bidding for their first CONCACAF Champions League title after five participations. Spirits are high in Leon’s camp ahead of their first semi-final game in the continental competition. Their previous best finish was a quarter-final spot in the 2022 edition.

Los Panzas Verdes are battling a rough patch of form though, as they are winless in their last four games, drawing and losing twice. Like UANL, Leon have qualified for the Reclassification, which determines the last four teams for the quarterfinals of the Clausura Liga MX final phase.
