Mazatlan vs Tigres UANL Prediction
Mazaltan lie 18th in the Liga MX Apertura table, four points behind eighth-placed Tigres UANL.
Mazatlan manager Francisco Palencia is not expected to get a positive result in this fixture. Venezuela international Fernando Aristeguieta has been in good form since joining the club from Morelia in 2020, and he will be under pressure to provide the goals for his team.
Tigres UANL, on the other hand, have a dangerous forward line in Andre-Pierre Gignac and Eduardo Vargas. France international Gignac is the club's all-time top goalscorer, having arrived in 2015 from Marseille, while Chile international Vargas has been a consistent presence since joining the club in 2017. That firepower and their better recent form should to favour Tigres in this match.
Prediction: Mazatlan 0-2 Tigres UANL
