Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Tigres?
Tigres showed, in the first round, that they will fight for the title of the Mexican league again. The capital victory against Santos Laguna, away from home, showed that the team is prepared to achieve great goals this year.
The French striker, André Pierre Gignac, is the best scorer in the history of the tournament and is the main hope of goals for Tigres. Beating Pachuca could generate a boost of confidence in the entire team.
Coach Diego Martin Cocca will have to create a very effective strategy to nullify Pachuca’s attackers.
Why Bet on Pachuca?
The crushing 5-1 victory, in the last round, left the fans excited, but the team knows that it will have to avoid euphoria in the face of such an important game against Tigres.
Striker Nicolás Ibáñez, who scored two goals in the last match, will need to take advantage of every opportunity to score in this game to help his team achieve at least a draw away from home.
Beating Tigres will be the perfect demonstration that the team is still on the right track to reaching another championship final. This is a game worth six points because the opponent is one of the contenders for the national title.
Final Betting Analysis: Tigres vs. Pachuca
This will be a very balanced game and bookmakers already predict this balance. Although Pachuca won the last Apertura tournament, and the last games against the Regiomontano team, this game is part of a different scenario.
Tigres is one of the most invested teams in Mexican football and has internationally renowned players. Playing at home, the Felines are very strong and fear no one.
For these reasons, we believe in Tigres’ victory in this game.
If you put $100 into Tigres’ win, you could get $128 back for a total payout of $228.
