UANL Tigres - Alajuelense

CONCACAF Champions League, Group Stage

Last round in the group stage, and things are a bit complicated in Group 6. Current leaders Alajuelense will travel to Mexico to face Tigres, and they will need at least a draw in order to ensure qualification from this group. However, the same Tigres are their main followers, and for sure they will be going all in to ensure they get the 3 points. The Costa Ricans aren't a bad side at all (actually they are one of the strongest non-Mexican teams in the continent), but their main advantages are at home, or against the lower ranked team. They usually struggle in their visits to Mexico, and I expect the same scenario today. Tigres will probably use the best available team, since anything else than a win will send them out of the competition. The only absences will be Lucas Lobos (long time injury, 29/16), and midfielder Abraham Stringel (1/0). Everyone else is ready to go, and they should start from the first minute. The handicap line is a bit high, but I totally trust Tigres to cover it. GL!

Tigres (-1.5 AH) @ 1.90, 3/10
Result: 2-0, WON
