Tigres backed to bounce back against Atletico San Luis

Tigres have no fresh injury concerns, but Rodrigo Aguirre was sent off in the last round against Tijuana and must serve a suspension for this match.

Atletico San Luis also have no new injury problems.

For Tigres, Rodrigo Aguirre is suspended, while Marcelo Flores remains out with a knee injury.

For Atletico San Luis, Cesar Lopez is doubtful because of a knee injury.

The recommended pick is a home win. Tigres made a poor start to the new season with a 3-1 away defeat to Tijuana. Aguirre's red card left them in a difficult position, but they still managed to level in the second half before conceding again in stoppage time. The late collapse made the result look worse, but their overall display suggested they are capable of bouncing back at home.

Atletico San Luis also suffered a painful opening defeat, losing 3-2 at home to Cruz Azul after leading by two goals. Their counter-attacking play looked dangerous, and they struck twice early in the second half. However, once Cruz Azul increased the pressure, Atletico San Luis could not cope defensively. That drop in concentration at the back is a major concern ahead of this away trip to Tigres.

Even without Rodrigo Aguirre, Tigres still have enough attacking quality to control the game at home. Atletico San Luis have shown they can cause problems, but they also exposed a weakness when placed under sustained pressure. Tigres are backed to win at home.

In head-to-head meetings, Tigres are unbeaten in the last four league and playoff clashes between the sides, with three wins and one draw. In their most recent league meeting in January this year, Tigres won 2-1 away from home.
