Week 11 features a match on Sunday Aug 28th, where Tigres UANL will host Necaxa at Estadio Universitario De Nuevo León in a clash of these two mismatched Liga MX teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 34 degrees, hopefuly the heat doesn’t affect the players too much. Tigres UANL sits at 4th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Monterrey. Neither Monterrey nor Tigres UANL could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 13 and 14 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Tigres UANL should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Necaxa recorded a 0-4 loss against Chivas. Angel Zaldívar scored the first goal for Chivas in the 30th minute, then Roberto Alvarado added another in the 33rd minute on a feed from Ernesto Alexis Vega Rojas At the end of 90 a dissapointed Necaxa couldn’t manage to score, and Chivas took the shutout win. Necaxa is looking for direction having 4 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Necaxa won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Facundo Batista has been the most prolific scorer on Necaxa in his last 5 matches with 2 goals. Gignac and Jordy Caicedo are the top scorers for Tigres UANL in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
