On Saturday Feb 26th, in week 7, Tigres UANL and Juárez will play a match in Ciudad Juárez in a meeting of these two Liga MX teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, a perfect day for football. Juárez sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Santos Laguna. Neither Juárez nor Santos Laguna could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 8 and 11 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while in their last match, Tigres UANL recorded a 2-1 win against Atlético San Luis. Jhon Murillo scored the first goal for Atlético San Luis in the 56th minute, then Carlos González got the equalizer for Tigres UANL in the 72nd minute on a feed from Yeferson Soteldo But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 77th minute on a goal by Andre-Pierre Gignac. Tigres UANL should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
Juárez and Tigres UANL last played eachother at the Estadio Universitario De Nuevo León on Nov 7th. Tigres UANL was victorious by a score of 3 to 0. Lopez Alonso struck first for Tigres UANL in the 6th minute, then Juan Vigón added another in the 48th minute on a feed from Luis Enrique Quinones At the end of 90 a dissapointed Juárez couldn’t manage to score, and Tigres UANL took the shutout win.
Tigres UANL is glad to have Andre-Pierre Gignac in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Juárez’s top weapon lately has been Diego Rolán, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches.
