The Clásico Regio, without a doubt, is one of the most passionate encounters with the greatest sporting rivalry in all of Mexican soccer. This Saturday, March 19, a new edition of the confrontation between Tigres and Monterrey will take place and the expectations are the highest due to the quality of the squads, the experience of their technicians and the excellent moment that both teams are going through.
The duel between the UANL team and Rayados is the most anticipated of each semester in Nuevo León. These two teams are capable of paralyzing their cities on the day of the classic. In the last ten clashes between these teams, the university team has achieved better results, so this weekend, at the Volcano, Víctor Manuel Vucetich’s team will have more pressure to keep the three points.
In the last ten matches between these teams, Tigres has five wins, while Monterrey only has two wins and three draws. Rayados’ last victory was recorded in the Apertura 2021, under the technical direction of Javier Aguirre, in the most recent Clásico Regio. Before this triumph, the UANL team had four consecutive victories in this regional duel.
Tigres beat Monterrey by the smallest difference in Clausura 2019, by a score of 0-2 in Apertura 2019, 0-2 in Apertura 2020 and 2-1 in Clausura 2021. The felines also won the most important duel in the history of these two teams: the 2017 Apertura final.
In the first leg, held at the Volcán, the teams tied at one goal, in the second leg, at the Gigante de Acero, the ‘Tuca’ Ferretti team won by a score of 1-2 and raised a cup at the home of the archrival.
For this weekend’s duel, Monterrey will come out with more pressure to win due to the most recent statistics of the Clásico Regio. The team led by Víctor Manuel Vucetich will have to add a win to start closing the gap with Tigres.
