Five points separate Leon and Tigres UANL in the Apertura table. With the Copa Libertadores behind them, however, Tigres can now turn their attention to the league campaign. Boasting a myriad of talent, the club will field a side to return to the summit of Mexican football.
The match between the two scheduled for 9:06 p.m. ET can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Telemundo.
Christian Martinez
Christian Martinez isn't fooled. Despite Tigres' paltry record of one point through three league games, the Leon goalkeeper is well aware of the task at hand on Wednesday.
"They're a strong team," Martinez said, per Esto. "I think the unit and coaching staff, headed by [Ricardo] Ferretti, are very good. But we are also aware that we have similar characteristics on the pitch and we have to take advantage of those opportunities."
Andre-Pierre Gignac
It isn't often a french striker plies his trade across the Mexican border, but that hasn't stopped from Andre-Pierre Gignac from making a name for himself in Monterrey. The 29-year-old opened his Liga MX account in Week 3, but red cards marred Tigres' efforts against Chivas Guadalajara.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw.
