The Liga MX Apertura campaign is on its last legs. Tigres UANL and Pumas UNAM will battle to see which is the last club standing.
Tigres -- who entered the Liguilla as the No. 6 seed after prioritizing the Copa Libertadores -- have enjoyed a comfortable ride to the Liguilla final. The club is yet to trail a single minute this tournament.

Unlike their opponent, Pumas opted for the scenic route.
After struggling with Veracruz in the quarterfinals, the club was fortunate to escape the Clasico Capitalino. America were a single goal from advancing to the final -- this despite ending both matches with nine men.

What They're Saying
Tigres UANL winger Jurgen Damm (via Esto): "Being the favorite has motivated us. I think with the team that we have, with all due respect to Pumas, we're the favorites. But we have to show it on the pitch. Pumas have done things very well. They have game-changing players who are in good form. It's going to be a very complicated, well-fought match."
Pumas UNAM manager Memo Vazquez (via Esto): "We have to believe in ourselves, believe that we're here. We know we have the ability to win. We just have to show it."
