Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Tigres UANL and Cruz Azul. The first-division clash scheduled for 8 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Universitario in San Nicolas and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Univision Deportes.
Cruz Azul manager Luis Fernando Tena had this to offer about Marco Fabian ahead of today's league encounter (via Vanguardia): "Of course, I would like him to stay [with Cruz Azul]. Obviously, the board of directors will decide and take into account the economics. All of us want Marco Fabian on our team."
"He has put forth effort [this season]," he added. "He's worked hard. He hasn't been sharp. His luck from last season, scoring seven goals isn't there and at any moment it will return to the pitch and he will return to scoring because he was close to goal."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Unlike Fabian, Cruz Azul's Mariano Pavone found his scoring touch in league play. The 32-year-old has two goals in 11 league appearances.
Queretaro's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Guzman; Juninho, Ayala, Torres, Estrada; Rios, Torres, Manzo; Guerrón, Gomez, Lugo
Cruz Azul's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Corona; Pinto, Rodriguez, Juarez, Martinez; Torrado, Barrera; Rojas, Baez, Formica; Pavone
