Tigres UANL will look to snap a three-match drawing streak when they travel to face FC Juárez this Saturday in matchday nine of the Liga MX Apertura. The Monterrey-based side heads to the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez after a 0-0 draw with rivals Monterrey last weekend, a result that leaves them 14th in the standings with just seven points from eight games.
Tigres' last win was nearly a month ago, a 2-0 victory over Atlante FC. Since then, they have taken three points from a possible nine following draws against Santos Laguna, Necaxa, and Monterrey. Rodrigo Aguirre, who scored in the 1-1 draw with Necaxa, is the team's top scorer this season with three goals in seven appearances. The Uruguayan will be key to breaking down a Juárez defence that has conceded 12 goals in its last three league matches.
The Bravos are in an even tougher spot, sitting 18th after a run of three consecutive Liga MX defeats. Their last outing was a 1-2 home loss to Santos Laguna. Recent history slightly favours the home side, who beat Tigres 2-1 in their last meeting back in March. Fans can check the full status of the visiting squad on our squad page.
The match is scheduled for 9:00 PM local time on Saturday, September 19th. A win is key for Tigres UANL to start climbing the table and close the gap to the playoff spots, currently sitting twelve points behind leaders Toluca.
