Two clubs chasing the Clausura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Tijuana and Pumas UNAM. The first-division clash scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Caliente in Tijuana and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.
What They're Saying
Tijuana center-back Javier Gandolfi (via Esto): "We are going to go up against an opponent that's desperate. They're coming off a loss, but like I always say we only worry about ourselves and we expect to play a great game."
Pumas UNAM manager Guillermo Vázquez (via Entorno Inteligente): "The team played a very flawed game [against Leon]. Honestly, they didn't show any intensity, nor did they fight. I think a big part of the result was that we quit doing things, we were distracted and we didn't generate anything up front."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Tijuana's Richard Ruiz scored a timely goal in last week's 2-2 draw with Chiapas. Last year, the 29-year-old finished with three goals and five assists across all competitions.
Tijuana's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Saucedo; Garza, Gandolfi, Chavez, Nunez; Hauche, Guemez, Arango, Ruiz; Jesus, Moreno
Pumas UNAM's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Saldivar; Rankin, Alcoba, Veron, Fuentes; Torales, Ramis, Cabrera, Lopez, Nieto; Herrera
