Tigres UANL will entertain Leon at Estadio Universitario in the CONCACAF Champions League on Tuesday.
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.
