Tigres vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction and Betting Tips | February 14th 2024

Tigres will host Vancouver Whitecaps at the Estadio Universitario on Wednesday in the second leg of their 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup first-round clash.

The home side have enjoyed a strong start to their Liga MX Clausura campaign and will hope to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week. They beat Santos 3-0 in their most recent outing with Juan Brunetta scoring an early brace before Nicolas Ibanez sealed the win from the spot in the second half.

Tigres are one-time winners of the continental showpiece, lifting the trophy back in 2020 and will look to replicate the same this year.

Vancouver Whitecaps, meanwhile, are gearing up for the upcoming MLS campaign and will be desperate to find good form before the tournament kicks off in early March.

The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in their first leg clash last week with new signing Damir Kreilach opening the scoring for the Caps just after the half-hour mark before veteran striker Andre-Pierre Gignac drew the Tigers level with a stunning free-kick in the 88th-minute.

Tigres vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction

Tigres are undefeated in their last seven games across all competitions, picking up four wins and three draws in that period. They have not lost a competitive game at the Estadio Universitario since last April and will fancy their chances ahead of Wednesday's clash.

Vancouver are on a run of back-to-back draws and are without a win in their last six matches. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams coupled with their contrasting forms should see the Mexican side come out on top this week.

Prediction: Tigres 3-1 Vancouver Whitecaps
