Estadio Alfonso Lastras San Luis

One of the most exciting quarterfinal matchups of Liga MX kicks off at Atlético de San Luis’ home stadium, as they face Tigres, a legitimate title contender in Mexican football.

San Luis did not participate in the Play-In, so their last match was during the regular season, where they won 1-0 away against Chivas, with Rodrigo Dourado scoring the only goal.

The Felines wrapped up the regular season with a 1-1 draw against Cruz Azul, the competition’s leaders. The goal came from Nicolás Ibañez.

Why bet on San Luis?

Atlético San Luis has had a competitive semester in 2024, shedding the image of a team typically fighting near the bottom of the Mexican football standings.

San Luis finished the Liga MX regular season in sixth place with 30 points from nine wins, three draws, and five losses. Their 27 goals scored make them the third-best offense, behind only Cruz Azul and Toluca.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the team is on a solid run, winning six of their last ten matches, with just one draw, against Necaxa.

They are a very strong home side, remaining undefeated with seven wins and just one draw at home. They’ve only conceded five goals in eight matches at their stadium.

While they are a solid attacking team, they lack a standout top scorer. Their best is Frenchman Sebastien Salles-Lamonge with five goals, followed by Franck Boli with four.

The only player currently injured is Italian defender Cristiano Piccini.

Why bet on Tigres?

Tigres is one of the top contenders for the Liga MX, but in order to have a shot at the title, they need to improve on the performance they showed in the regular season.

Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Cruz Azul, the leader of the first phase. Ángel Sepúlveda scored for Tigres, while Nicolás Ibañez found the net for Cruz Azul.

Tigres finished in third place with 34 points, eight behind Cruz Azul and just one away from finishing as runners-up. Their offense was average compared to other playoff teams, but their defense was elite, conceding only 15 goals.

The only teams with better defensive numbers were Cruz Azul and Pumas, making this a key factor in trying to stop the opponent’s attack.

The Monterrey team was the second-best away side, with 14 points from nine matches. However, they’ve only won two of their last five away games.

As has been the case recently, André-Pierre Gignac remains their top scorer with seven.

The players currently injured are Rafael Guerrero and Rafael Carioca.
