Tigers will be measured against Blue Cross this weekend in a duel corresponding to matchday 7 of the Clausura 2024 tournament of the Liga MX. The UANL team is undefeated in this tournament and has just beaten the Vancouver Whitecaps to advance to the next round of the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup.
This weekend, the squad led by Robert Dante Siboldi will seek to continue showing its power, but in front of it it will have the Celeste Machine, a squad that is in fourth position in the general table. This looks to be one of the most entertaining matches of matchday 7, a true power-to-power encounter.
Tigres would go out with the following lineup for the matchday 7 match against Cruz Azul:
Goalkeeper: Nahuel Guzmán – Without a doubt, Nahuel is one of the best goalkeepers in Liga MX, both currently and historically. The 'Patón' is a guarantee under all three suits and is distinguished by his ability with his feet.
Right back: Jesús Garza – The young feline has lived up to expectations after Javier Aquino's injury. When the winger recovers, will Garza still be a starter? So far he has complied.
Defending center: Juan José Purata – Given Guido Pizarro's injury, Purata has come out to stand up for Tigres. The youth squad has been solid and will look to continue having minutes.
Central defender: Samir – The Brazilian defender has won the race over Diego Reyes and is the first option for Robert Dante Siboldi.
Left back: Jesús Angulo – Angulo is a low-profile player who contributes a lot on the field of play. His greatest strength is his defensive work, although he also knows how to add to the attack.
Central midfielder: Rafael Carioca – The Brazilian midfielder is experiencing his second wind. Although he no longer has the speed he used to, he is an element with great ability to read the game and distribute it. Plus it has a great punch.
Central midfielder: Fernando Gorriarán – The Uruguayan environment has the capacity to contribute to recovery and also to create. Gorriarán helps Carioca in his defensive work and joins the front line when he can.
Offensive midfielder: Juan Brunetta – The Argentine attacker has fallen on the right foot to Tigres. This season he has three goals and two assists. He has had a great performance.
Right winger: Diego Lainez – Siboldi has managed his team to face the Liga MX and the Concachampions. The Uruguayan coach has opted for Lainez as a starter for Clausura 2024. He adds an assist.
Left winger: Sebastián Córdova – Like Lainez, Córdova has been a starter in the league and has played little in the cup. In Clausura 2024 he scores three goals.
Center forward: Nicolás Ibáñez – Ibáñez has the great challenge of sharing a position with André Pierre Gignac. His numbers are above average: three goals and three assists.
