The first-division clash scheduled for 8 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Universitario in Monterrey and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Univision Deportes.
What They're Saying
Tigres UANL president Alejandro Rodriguez, still upset after losing to River Plate in the Copa Liberatdores final in Argentina, vows to return to intercontinental competition (via Esto): "Of course we're leaving [Buenos Aires] upset. The objective was to win [the Copa Libertadores], but unfortunately it didn't happen. Tigres is built for this and more. I vow that we will try to participate in the most prestigious tournament in the Americas again."
Chivas Guadalajara manager Jose Manuel De La Torre on his team's winless start (via Univision): "You always want to win because losing hurts, but the only ones who can correct this are us. [We'll do it] with a lot of work."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Carlos Fierro is yet to make an impact for Chivas this campaign, and will need to in his more advanced role if the club is to avoid relegation. Last season, the 21-year-old finished with one goal and three assists.
Tigres UANL's Projected Lineup (5-4-1): Palos; Briseño, Estrada, Viniegra, Torres, Barrera; Lugo, Dueñas, Escoto, Espericueta; Esqueda
Chivas Guadalajara's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Rodriguez; Hernandez, Salcedo, Salcido, Lopez; Ponce, Castro, Basulto, Reyna; Fierro, Bravo
