Austin FC will host Mexican side Tigres UANL in a club friendly fixture at the Q2 Stadium on Tuesday.

This will be the first-ever international friendly for the home side as they come into this game on the back of a 2-0 defeat to LAFC in the MLS last week. Jose Cifuentes and Diego Rossi scored in each half to give the California outfit all three points.

Tigres suffered a 1-0 defeat to fellow Mexican side Club America in a friendly on Saturday. Salvador Reyes scored the match winner 15 minutes from time.

Both sides will use Tuesday's friendly to prepare for their return to competitive action.

Austin FC will host Seattle Sounders in MLS action later in July, while Tigres will travel to take on Club Tijuana in their opening Liga MX fixture of the season.

Austin vs Tigres UANL Prediction

Tigres will be without two key players in Gignac and Thauvin but they still have enough quality in their side to see off an out-of-sorts Austin FC.

Home advantage could give the Texas side a boost, but Tigres' superior experience should see them through. We are predicting a narrow victory for the visitors, with goals to be scored at both ends.

Prediction: Austin 1-2 Tigres UANL
