The last time these two teams met was on matchday nine of the 2024 Apertura tournament, and the match ended 1-0 in favor of the Nuevo León university team. The match took place on the field of the ‘Volcán’ Universitario.
Paunović moves him quite a bit!
Carioca, Gignac, Aquino, Antuna, Cordova and Brunetta on the bench. This is how Tigres will play today on the border against Bravos de Juárez! The idea is that the three who will be behind the ‘Tank’ play different roles.

Veljko Paunovic has not yet found his ideal eleven. As a result, it is normal to see Tigres alternate formations and players from match to match. However, for tonight’s match he did surprise both friends and strangers.
The usual changes tended to leave one or two top players on the bench, and then use them as substitutes. But now it was not one or two, but six men classified as ‘heavy hitters’.
Brazilian Rafael Carioca, who is usually the point of balance in the midfield, will have to watch the game from the bench. The same goes for the recently renewed Javier Aquino, the star of Tigres’ last championship Sebastián Córdova, the MVP of Tigres in the previous tournament: Juan Brunetta, the newcomer Uriel Antuna and the number ten player: André-Pierre Gignac.
In this way, Tigres’ starting eleven would look more or less like this:
Goalie: Nahuel Guzman
Defenses: Jesus Garza, Diego Reyes, Joaquim and Jesus Angulo
Midfielders: Guido Pizarro and Fernando Gorriaran
Attacking midfielders: Diego Lainez, Ozziel Herrera and Marcelo Flores
Front: Nicolas Ibanez
