The duel between América and Tigres on matchday 15 of the Grita México 2021 League MX tournament is taking all the spotlight. This duel has several aspects that make it special. The two teams have forged an intense sporting rivalry in the last decade. These two teams are the winners of the last ten years and some commentators have even dared to consider it the new classic of Mexican soccer.
This duel is vital to the aspirations of both the Eagles and Tigres. Santiago Solari’s team wants to ensure their classification to the league as super leader, while the felines will look for a perfect closure to stay with the leadership. Miguel Herrera, who will return to the Azteca Stadium, now as the university coach, will make some modifications to his starting eleven to face his ex.
According to the most recent reports, Tigres de la UANL would go out with the following players against the Eagles. The big surprise in the felines’ lineup would be the return of Hugo Ayala, who a few days ago seemed ruled out to face this match.
Goalkeeper: Nahuel Guzmán.
Defenders: Luis Rodríguez, Guido Pizarro, Hugo Ayala, Diego Reyes, Javier Aquino.
Midfielders: Juan Pablo Vigón, Rafael Carioca and Luis Quiñones.
Forwards: André Pierre Gignac and Nicolás ‘Diente’ López.
Carlos Salcedo would be the one sacrificed for this duel, after retaking the title in the match against Tuzos de Pachuca. The duel will be held this Saturday, October 23 at the Colossus of Santa Úrsula at 7:00 p.m.
