The Copa Libertadores and Apertura regular season behind them, Tigres UANL can return to form ahead of the Liguilla on Wednesday.
Boasting incredible attacking talent the likes of of Andre-Pierre Gignac, Rafael Sobis and Jurgen Damm, the club enters the playoffs as the No. 5 seed, but a more credible threat than any other club that qualified for the Liguilla.
Chiapas will put that theory to the test. A 3-2 victory over Pachuca in Week 17 allowed the club to clinch a higher seed (No. 4), which may prove to be vital in the tiebreaking procedures.

What They're Saying
Tigres UANL manager Ricardo Ferretti (via Esto): "People say that the away goal makes clubs attack more, but that's not true. It makes them more defensive. Here [at home], we're going to try and score. And over there [in Chiapas], we're going for a goal as well."
Chiapas striker Silvio Romero (via Esto): "I think we have to be wary of their attack. They're very good, but we are also good defensively and I think we can scare them. We have to give it our all. We have to be strong in the back, so our forwards feel safe with protection and attack."
