Tigres UANL set out to pick up their first win of the 2023 Liga MX Apertura campaign when they play host to Club Leon on Saturday.
Los Panzas Verdes, on the other hand, journey to the Estadio Universitario looking to record successive league wins for the first time this season.
Tigres UANL failed to get their campaign up and running last Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Juarez FC.
Prior to that, Robert Siboldi’s men needed a 93rd-minute strike from Nicolas Ibanez to salvage a 1-1 draw against Puebla in their league opener on July 2.
While Tigres are yet to taste victory in the new campaign, they are unbeaten in six straight matches across all competitions, claiming three wins and four draws since a 3-1 loss to Toluca on May 15.
Elsewhere, Club Leon turned in a performance of the highest quality as they thrashed Pachuca 4-0 at the Estadio Leon on Tuesday.
This followed a 2-1 loss against Guadalajara in their opening game on July 4, when Antonio Briseño and Jonathan Padilla scored in either half to hand the Chivas all three points.
Next up for Club Leon are a Tigres side who have lost three of their last four meetings, with April’s 2-1 victory being the exception.
